I had an old Samsung device automatically install TikTok when I powered it on after sitting in a drawer for years. TikTok didn't even exist when I bought the phone, yet someone with more control over my device than me sold the remote access (they gave themselves, without my consent) to TikTok.

Of course this is not a new development, but the proprietary BS and Google's increasingly evil actions over the past decade really highlight how much of a problem that is. Trusting Fuchsia is just repeating that mistake.
