I can’t easily make as switch and I’m probably like top 1% when it comes to Google independence. Most people will have Gmail, google photos use gpay daily, use android auto, have even more IOT devices, google assistant speakers, smart doorbells and so on. I’m sure some people are less entrenched but it’s a tiny minority.
I did concede and I do largely agree with your responses. There’s any number of barriers stopping average people from switching, as much as it pains me to admit.
For the tech-inclined, there are plenty of alternative email providers and setting up email forwarding is a breeze, just as there many cloud photo services, CoMaps is likely going to see improvements in navigation, IoT devices/apps aren’t always reliant on external services, there are likely viable assistant alternatives around emerging, and hopefully inexpensive, private smart doorbells sprout up.
I personally never invested heavily into a phone. I just never found them particularly impressive, even with higher-end hardware. I tinker more than most people in a general sense, but my phone only gets used like how an average person would. I do a couple things on it, I don’t use anything special, and I’m not too picky. I just tend to avoid using the thing unless I get a phone call, message, or I want to check out the weather or social media.
