But it is not like I don't care. I care within some limits. Using a phone I don't like aesthetically is not in that limits.

See, this

I care within some limits. Using a phone I don’t like aesthetically is not in that limits.

and this

No no, I would prefer privacy.

are in direct opposition. They are irreconcilable positions. It's your phone, it's okay for you to decide you won't compromise on aesthetics on your own devices, if that's what's important to you. Just own it and be prepared for pushback when you're commenting on an article about a privacy-focused OS and using this as the basis of your criticism.

  1. privacy focused good-looking phone
    1. privacy focused bad-looking phone
    2. spyware good-looking phone
  2. spyware bad-looking phone

in this list, my preference order is: 1, 2.2, 2.1, 3. As you can see, I would prefer 1 if it was available, but there is not.

Also, I criticized the appearance of the phone, not the privacy-focused OS.
