...no? AOSP is very well free of Google code, and if Android is spyware, then Linux might as well be spyware, going by this logic. And even with GMS installed phones, it is very easy to disable and neuter GMS with a computer and 15 minutes of time. At best, Android has Google DNS as default unless you set a different one in Private DNS or with your firewall, which is also true for systemd's network checks in Linux distros.
Western corporations working on collaborative FOSS products cannot be treated in the same way as closed source products. Any analysis of type of malware capabilities must be based on technical merit analysis, and not feelings, even if Western Big Tech does disgusting things.
