Agree, agree, agree
But have some sidenotes to add ๐
Did you know you can root grapheneos, and lock the bootloader? ๐ pretty dangerous stuff to do, but possible!
In general, screw google play, and screw google, or any big corpo, it's not even about security, but about them being bad companies and bad services
And the same about windows, joy is the most important thing, if software is full of trackers and just designed poorly, why would anyone want to use it ๐ซ
I did not know that it was possible to have root on GrapheneOS with a locked bootloader, but there have been ROMs with SU functionality built in, and adding their keys would be a straightforward way to have root and a locked bootloader.
