At least with Google's Pixel phones you can flash your own OS like Graphene and totally de-Google it. I just hate that they don't support SD cards, that's absolute bullshit/greed on Google's part. Same with Apple.

The reasons for this are actually somewhat sound once you realize how fucking shit SD Cards actually are. They break/corrupt frequently and for no reason and it creates a ton of Customer Service hassle to tell people their photos are gone when they inevitably die.
