I think we need to be more precise with statements such as "support intrusive apps".

This is true in case where those apps are preinstalled by vendor with no possibility to remove. Also the whole GMS case.

The fact that it's nearly impossible to buy phone without built-in telemetry scares me.

Just keep in mind that community based #lineageos and #DivestOS are Android but doesn't include or support this crap.

Thank you for effort you put into mobile Linux development!
