Re: I'm not surprised
Doesn't have to go so far as key logging you, but even without that you are basically carrying a Google data collection device with you everywhere 24x7. How could anyone possibly think "letting Google have my search data is a bad idea" but be totally OK with carrying a phone running a Google OS (including tons of closed source code) with them everywhere?
Yeah, yeah, there's LineageOS, but other than the tiny number who goes to those lengths to have an Android phone that's not Google pwned the idea of an Android user avoiding Google search is just ridiculous. Its like insisting on having a hardware disabling switch for the camera/mic on your laptop when you have an Alexa in your home.
