Because they’re not Google.

And dog shit isn't cat shit but I still won't eat that.

In this day and age you're forced to pick either; choose.

Nah.

I have:

  • Pixel phone with GrapheneOS and no Google apps (yes, the Pixel is from Google, the irony isn't lost on me); old phone was Motorola; hope my next phone is a Linux phone
  • ThinkPad laptop running Linux
  • custom Linux desktop
  • Tuta for email
  • DDG for search

The only Google stuff I use is Drive and maps, and I'm actively replacing drive with NextCloud.

There are more options, you can avoid Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Whether you want to is a separate issue.
