I do have an android phone.

There is no google on it by default. Have you ever installed android before? By default, it's without gapps. You have to download an extra package even to get the google crap on it.

You are talking about custom roms. For 99.999% not the reality and therefore not helpful.

Pretty much all phones comes pre-installed with Android and completely tie to google with no easy way to get rid of it. Android is essentially develop by Google, open source or not, I'm not gonna waste time on rhetorical arguments on this.
