Sucks that it only works on Pixels for the most part. I've never paid that much for a phone, and I ain't starting now lol
Maybe get used? That way you don't support Google and it doesn't cost too much. Not sure how much mine cost, I got it as a gift from my mother who's pretty good about finding sales for things, although it was brand-new.
If not that then people seem to see CalyxOS as a decent alternative.
Not CalyxOS right now.

I went with /e/OS, and it works well, even bank apps.
Let me put this here:
Murena (the ppl behind /e/ OS) feed your data to LLMs, and there's also telemetry.
Stop exaggerating. The OpenAI speech-to-text service is a paid extra you don't accidentally switch on, and telemetry is off by default and hidden in the developer options menu.
(But yeah, OpenAI was a disgusting choice. The default should have been local, even if it's worse.)
FYI, I just got LineageOS on a cheap Motorola phone ($140 USD, but you need a PC to do the install)
Nice! I have a PC! I'm just very cheap!
I got to expense mine, wouldn't pay that much if i had to actually pay lol
