Stories like this really make me wish there was a viable mobile OS not connected to Google or Apple either directly or by way of them being the ultimate maintainer so I could cut such things out if my life completely.
It just doesn't sit right with me that Android is the only mobile OS that really allows me the most flexibility to avoid such things, yet it is ultimately controlled by Google.
iOS seems like getting around some of the arthritis problems in your left hand by amputating the hand out right.
I keep hoping for Linux mobile. Windows 11 runs Android apps, so a Linux mobile OS that runs Android apps would be a dream.
I bought a Pinephone a year or so back hoping I could "make do" with it. But that project is still falls dreadfully short of anything beyond a curiosity to play with.
