Would love to. How can I migrate to new device and buy apps on my phone without #Google?

Remember when #Microsoft got fined about only pushing one browser? Well, we are few years late with android lock-ins

@chicraote de-googled phones exist, but you still can't buy apps without a google identity and this makes a de-googled phone substantially less useful.

@raymaccarthy Yup. And that's difficult to distinguish from a de facto law requiring you to have a duopoly phone.

Which is not an appropriate stance for the public square which really ought to include "banking".
