I have no issues with Lineage, or Graphene, the enshitification is all Google and the shady “app” shilelrs who are after your data linking everything to Google Play Services which is a fucking plague.

Android is fine, Google has gone form “Don’t be Evil” to “How can we be more evil?” and needs to be purged from all devices.

Heck, I just demanded a data deletion of an account that was a legal adult because they demanded a copy of my driver’s license to watch a music video on YouTube.

Funny that doesn’t happen when I send a bot to scrape the webm file, without the spammy annoying AI generated ads playing constantly, and run ffmpeg on it to give me a proper offline copy of said video.

Nothing Google does is needed, they are a “convenience” that is only popular because it si free and already installed on everything. Kinda like Windows, no?
