All of them unfortunately based on and rely upon Android.
But the problem is not Android itself. It's that google has populated it with tracking, profiling and in general anti-privacy software... Remove that, and you have a decent OS...
As long as Google allows that to happen, which is the problem.
Don't disagree in that point. The problem is, that phone companies don't want to support anything really... so until an open source project in that regard, is accepted by the major phone companies, we would have a hard time switching... And since they are paid and bribed by the ones in majority, like Google and Apple, that won't likely happen, unless there's some good politicians doing their gd dmn job...
Better than being literally Android.
No disagreement.
