If you want to escape Google's monopoly, you can use LineageOS without google apps, as opposed to the malware and spyware-ridden trash that usually comes preinstalled on your phone.

Even if you run LineageOS without Google, LineageOS still phones home to Google for DNS and captive portal checks.

Yes, that's unfortunate. But it is "easily" patchable (and a world of difference from actually running google play services with root privileges on your phone).
That can be easily patched. If you want a full "de-google" experience, GOS is the only perfect option
Funny how the fully "de-googled" experience starts with buying a Google device.
