Are you serious? There are more options than you think (or try to convince others). I do prefer control over what I can install to my computer be it a box or a mobile one, and control on what runs there.

Okay so people can choose to buy a second device and do some things there (until chatcontrol 3.1 finally is approved by parliament anyway), but for the device that's basically mandatory for normal life now, what other options than "work with the system" or "don't" does F-Droid have?
I'll probably end up doing that btw. For now I'm still fighting the "have control on 1 device" battle, simply not using things that require a locked DRM state (no 2FA government login for example, limited bank choices, soon no age verification, etc.) until that's no longer tenable for me. I'll be among the last 0.02% to give in, judging by how it's going today (not even 99% of tech people seem to care that they're not the admin on their own device). We're on the same side with the same goals here, but I'm simultaneously also looking at what realistic remaining options are for my friends, family, and semi-child
