      Because it’s a privacy nightmare.

        Using Google products has always been a “privacy nightmare” - it’s not like this is some mega open source phone or anything it’s literally Google’s flagship. Is this really surprising? Playing with fire gets you burned.

        In what way ? Everything you do on phone Google has access to and therefore any govt body as well.

        Privacy on a phone is a myth unless you use a modded phone

      Even ignoring all the privacy issues with that, it’s kinda shit to unnecessarily lose phone features when you’ve got no signal

        That’s how phones have always worked. As long as they are not automatically ingesting data from people without permission. I don’t see an issue with this. At least in this instance we have some choice in what we send or don’t. It’s no more privacy nightmare than mid-Journey doll-e or any of the others.
