There are probably just as many good reasons to boycott Google’s Android — most phone resellers can’t resist adding their own launcher, spyware, bloatware.
What alternatives are there for daily phone use?
For an off the shelf phone, I personally would rather buy Apple than any Android phone because of links to Google. Looking forward to a truly open-source, free as in freedom phone that has hardware comparable with leading commercial platforms.
For a desktop or laptop, I personally would choose Linux over macOS, even though most hardware depends on closed-source drivers from the manufacturers. (If you look carefully, there are truly open and free as in freedom hardware platforms, though the range is limited).
