It should probably be "break free from Google and Apple"?

As long as it is based on AOSP, it is at the mercy of Google to release source code and updates. Given recent trends, I wouldn't be surprised if Google stops shipping Android source completely.

how will it help you to break free from apple if it only supports pixel phones?

  • One reason that people use Apple phones is they are seen as a less privacy-invasive option than Android/Google.

    So it would follow that a valid privacy-respecting third option would potentially help Apple customers as well as Google customers.
