You can root your android device and gut almost all the Google taint. Hell, you can do a lot of that already without rooting with the f-droid marketplace and then download Karma Firewall to block any outgoing traffic for any app you choose.
Because what are your options? Android or Apple. Apple’s phones are locked down pretty tightly where if you want to do anything outside of their ecosystem, you have to root it (and nullify your warranty). Android at least gives you enough access where you can counteract the vast majority–if not the entirety of Google’s tracking/spying–while also being able to work outside of Google’s app store, all without rooting your phone.

Why would you buy such a device (from an ad company) in the first place?
