You can research a phone you like and check if it has an unlockable bootloader, root it, and install something like LineageOS on it. It's fairly straight-forward, not super technically demanding, but it does require some tinkering and time setting up.

xdaforums.com is where the rooting kids hang out, post guides for specific models, upload images et c, you can probably do it in an afternoon with GPT.

The issue is that some apps, notably banking and official type apps, usually don't work as they rely on google services for operation. I solve it by having a cheap secondary phone that I only use for that stuff.

Oh, I almost forgot: FUCK YOU GOOGLE

It's syphilis and has been for decades. The face paint, the patchy hair loss, the bruises and blemishes, the cognitive decline. He's like a modern version of French 18th century aristocracy with the wigs and the thick coating of scar concealing makeup.

I would love to save the world from ecological collapse, but not if I have to pay for it in any way shape of form whatsoever!

Well, they claim capitalism is the best driver there is for invention, so this should be sorted before Wednesday!

Developer, smacking wall: "This bad boy ain't going nowhere"

And keep both walls for redundancy.

It’s literally bending over for no reason.

The reason is always money. Cui bono? Obviously minority big capital stands to gain, and they have political leverage through their lapdogs. Capitalism is a cancer on society, it's incompatible with democracy and rule of law, it will always do what is expedient for profit over any other or ethical considerations.
