It's not propaganda at all.

Personally, I'm sick and tired of dealing with corporate overreach based on the excuse that so many people are too stupid to operate the device responsibly.

I'm on a 3rd party, no goggle account, AOSP built OS. So I don't think this immediate change in 2027 will affect me.

While AOSP is a current workaround, this whole ability to build a non-goggle android via AOSP is also under threat from goggle lockdown.

That means this trend of having to part with the OS intended for the too stupid population is only going to increase.

So, needing to depart from android completely is in the near term.

Linux phones become ever more usable, including android in a jail.

The current furiphone is a great example.
