Get a pixel and install GrapheneOS. Using a pixel and Linux machines, you can use KDE Connect to get basically every integration you get with iOS and macOS. Admittedly not everything is quite so seamless like Apple's products, but it's quite nice. Plus, no Google snooping on your stuff (unless you choose to install Google services, which you can do with one tap)

KDE Connect rocks. It's objectively better than Windows Phone Link because, somehow, it fucking works.

Still a forever 'no' for me. Anyone taking over for him tolerates him , and who is to say if he is only symbolically step down and will still run things behind the scenes?

Thankfully we are spoiled for choice on security oriented ROMs these days and nearly everything will run on a Pixel. No need to use a ROM created by someone so toxic they put their projects in jeopardy.
