I'm curious what this means. Personally I don't give a damn who uses what do what's good for you, but android is heavily customizable with different operating systems and apps for more minor tweaks. On top of all that switching from android to iPhone is IMMENSELY easier than iPhone to android.

If you're referencing the Google apps that people get to involved with there's many options to get away from them nowadays. There's whole communities here on lemmy assisting with that for those in to deep or even those just joining the android community so they don't get pulled in.

I use android not because it's good but because I can get unlocked bootloader and that hack where you can spoof app permissions to provide them with fake data instead of using Google's fake ass permissions system. I doubt this gives me 100% bulletproof privacy but not being able to harvest my data as reliably costs Google and the other big corporations money which is all I care about.
