I guess without the ability to do those things they would lose market share. If you're like me and refuse to tolerate, just remove it. Other defaults are fine. I didn't like that I had to go through Dev mode if I wanted to remove the native maps app, but I ended up keeping it anyway.

I have had no issues with this phone. Accessories are high but they are not a big company, so... You can use NextDNS to see any tracker queries if you want. You are able to disable the google tracker in MicroG if you just go to community forum and read how. If you block in NextDNS first you will not need to worry anyways.
