Interesting take. Name a better option than a de-googled phone running graphene or similar? Because thats not a walled garden.. And im with you regarding sly ideas, but continuing to lick Apples boot is incongruent, no?

You can comply with guidelines and still find ways to implement desired functionality. You can use TestFlight for functionality, you can overload appstore with clients that all have different forms of the same functionality. You can use wpa parallel to apps to get what we want. You can have apps link to wpa to provide satellite functions. You name it.
