Apple - I’m stuck with an iPhone because of work but I won’t buy any accessories or apps from them anymore. As soon as I can switch to another non-Apple or Android device, I will.

Unfortunately jumping to Android is just moving from an Apple device to Google.

That’s true. And Apple has done a better job of not _looking_ like a place that is spying on us.
But the original advantage of Android remains, which is that it is not a closed corporate ghetto like all Apple stuff.
And there’s more than one “store” e.g. Amazon runs one. (I realize issue with Amazon but the point is it’s not Google.)
And it is trivially easy to install “apps” that do not come from any “store.” At least up to recent versions, you can set your system to allow that.
And you can install any number of variants of Android hacked by any number of people. Including yourself.
As it was always going to end up, integrity of the publisher of the “app” depends on the publisher, not some big brother like the Play store or whatever place the Apple ghetto provides.
