I agree that it's very hard at this point to completely remove Google from our lives. But we shouldn't do nothing and give up. The best solution is almost always something in the middle. That's what I aim for. Maybe I can't get rid of Android at this point, but maybe there are some configurations that might be an improvement, and have a bit more privacy on my Android phone. For example, I had to manually deactivate the location history (active by default), and all this tracking stuff you can see on the myactivity page that for me it's more intrusive than the benefit Google may give me from that data.
