Would graphene OS be the answer here then? I’ve been looking around for my new phone lately as I’m trying to do the same. Would it be possible to de-google lineage OS manually or is it just better to pick another OS? Sorry for the questions but I don’t really know where the FOSS android communities are yet so I don’t know where to look for the answers.
My guess is they don’t want to be responsible for lawsuits if someone eats food they had to throw out and it causes a problem. (past expiration date, damage, ect.) Then again I am not a multi-billion dollar business executive so the reason could very well be “fuck the poors” for all I know.
