    I agree, although there are three things worth mentioning:

    1. The conventional Android is not that opensource. It is bundled with tons of proprietary Google stuff. That’s why de-googled Android does not provide as smooth experience.

    2. Android does not restrict you to “only OpenSource” components. WhatsApp for example is widely used and is not FLOSS.

      1. Degoogled Android is just as possible. There are nearly all the tools needed (apart from system level stuff like backups) that work without many privileges or with a fine grained permission system
      2. Never said that, but its security allows you to use random stuff and not fear malware. GrapheneOS just does the last % to complete it, like storage and contact scopes.
