it can always be forked as a project that does. this is part of the point of foss and why you should be using lineage or graphene instead if you care about this

yeah, again, just like Chromium technically speaking.

Let's use the lesser, Foss version of Google's product so they can continue to have a monopoly, so then later they can force you to install a proprietary blob or account apps or services need.

nothing lesser about grapheneos or lineageos at all.

but im all ears if you have a usable alternative for a foss phone.

iirc there are problems with trying to use some mainstream apps on these operating systems. When I say lesser I don't mean to demean them, I mean they're the lesser used and not really known about alternative and thus not really supported unless you can live your life in f-droid which if so, kudos to you, you're livin' the dream.
