    You can already do whatever you want with it. I can easily install another entire OS on my Pixel.

      What if you don’t want a Pixel? Or a Fairphone? Or one of the very, VERY few cellphones that you can install a deGoogled OS on?

      There are precious few ways of escaping the Google monopoly. I own a Fairphone running CalyxOS, and it happens to be the phone I want because of its excellent repairability. So lucky me. But if I didn’t want a Fairphone, nor any Samsung phone, nor any Chinese cellphone, and certainly not a fucking Google phone - because I’d rather cut off my left nut than give Google money to escape Google’s surveillance, that’s just too rich for me - then I’d be SOL.

      My point is, if you refuse to be Google’s removed, Google backs you into a corner. Just because you’re happy with the corner doesn’t mean you’re not stuck in a corner.

        Then get one you do want? Or accept that you might not get 100% of what you want in a phone, but then that’s true of everything in life, really.
