I think the general sentiment behind it is that people hate Google, and mainly used android phones because they are…were more open. Now that that’s going away, people would rather use iOS since apple has a better reputation for privacy, though that would be an incredibly low bar to limbo under compared to Google.

I really just hope degoogled android instances or Linux phones take off in the near future. I’d love to use grapheneOS, but it doesn’t support samsung phones, and im not at a point where im going to throw away a phone in good working order in order to get an OS.
