Putting GrapheneOS on the Pixel is good advice though
Pixels are arguably the most private android since you only get Google tracking. With other androids you get Google tracking on top of all the other tracking
If there's tracking it's not private.
So only most but not all. Therefore it's not private if there's any tracking. Thus a de-googled version is the only option.
For gmail that's true (one should use something else anyhow). For youtube you can use an alternative frontend like NewPipe to avoid tracking.
If you care about privacy you should use a trustworthy paid email. They even aren't that expensive. You can get them as low as 1 € / month.
Have you checked the source code that they actually respect private dns setting for their tracking? Or otherwise verified that no traffic goes to google tracking servers?
