What next? Change jobs? Ride a bicycle? Move to a less oppressive country? Buy land and grow your own food? We're trapped into a vortex of *multi-trillion-dollar* global corporations wedging themselves into our lives and clawing away our freedoms, and we're supposed to *vote with our money*?

The manufacturers are complicit because the alternative is to be ousted. Every "alternative mobile OS" that tried to directly compete with Android/iOS got crushed.
Google now wants indisputable dictatorship over Android. Manufacturers can try creating alt-stores but you know exactly where it ends.

Well yes, why do you seem to frame it like these are impossible ?
No, no there aren't, and of the ones that are, they're more or less useless.
You can't just infinitely hand-wavd restrictive actions. No, it's real, and they're happening.
