There's a third and fourth camp though. People just don't care. GrapheneOS and the other degoogled androids, or Linux phones.
And another store managing your elsewhere installed apps does benefit them. Data, pure lovely nice data. For free. From people who pay to do so.
Having one company fuck my privacy sideways is already enough, but companies competing against each other in the very same hardware is way too much for my liking.
