You paid for the phone, not for the google services.

You're free to use non-google services on android. Moreover open street map, and numerous other email clients, exist - it's even a practical choice.

That was your decision. There are other options.

And while you mind, billions are really happy to have a very secure and relativity cheap phone.

Have you checked the last Google Io?

They don't hide that they collect data.

Android is still open.

You can't expect Google to just give you a android distribution without their stuff for free just because.

You still can use it.

We all know what it means. Still doesn't change the fact what the value for billion of people is real.

I can decide if I'm okay with it or not. You are clearly not. I'm.
