Haha I know, it's anathema to admit that there is any benefit to existing inside the walled gardens, but acknowledging shortcomings is the first step towards improvement.
These are also edge cases to me, and overall I'm super pleased with Graphene OS. I don't own a car so Android auto is only missed when renting a car on vacation, and I can bring an old backup phone for that, and I just remember to bring my wallet and credit cards with me now that I can't tap to pay.
But I know there are people these would be a deal breaker for, so wanted to call them out. It is remarkable how well it all works though!
Fair point. Probably quite risky to only bring a phone on holiday though in case it gets stolen. I couldn't fathom that personally.
I've not rented a car abroad personally so don't know much about what that app provides.
I guess those that consider them deal breakers probably aren't ready to degoogle. That's fine, and it's a very personal choice for individuals. Maybe Android -> ios may work better for them if privacy is something on their appetite.
