>>seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river.

Well for your use case maybe, but I do not find the value of trading privacy for freedom to be a good one, specifically since I can secure my data other ways including not storing it at all on my phone.

My phone is a tool, and I prefer to own and control completely that tool

What phone do you own and control completely? I was under the impression that every phone capable of being a phone contains BLOBs that you have no control over.

Not to mention a veritable panoply of chips that you could probably spend a lifetime on trying to prove correct and not malware'd, assuming you could even get the schematics, etc.
