  Don’t install system apps that come installed by default? And can’t be removed without rooting your phone. I mean I disabled it but most people don’t know to do that even if they don’t use it.

    Alternate OS is the best choice, then you pick and choose apps

        For anyone wanting the easy way. You get a pixel phone, you go to the GrapheneOS website, and you plug your phone into your PC and click the buttons in order, and it flashes your phone for you. If you can follow steps of pushing a web button in order, you can have an alternate OS installed in half hour

        Actually most people can do that; they just don’t know it. Well to be fair, most people probably don’t know how to do that either, so let’s say “most people could do that in theory”.

        Everyone can do it

        The vast majority just won’t.
