Google is pushing for an AI-driven antivirus to gather app data in the latest Android. I bet most users will swallow the bait.

the problem is, who else is developing Android? It's maintained by them, even though it's codebase is "open-source"

What of another gnu distro?

AOSP is not just Google. It can be forked by Samsung, for example. AOSP is not GNU. It has a Linux kernel, but heavily modified.

Google still provides the best hardware for running AOSP. I'm happy with that, and don't care about noobs using Google Android for its AI stuff. I will run AOSP instead without fancy features.

probably no opt out simply

Most likely. Can't even remove YouTube app in most versions of Android.
