I think you’re going to have to go to a flip phone, then.

Not to be, uh, flippant. Because this feels like a rather obvious slippery slope that Google will be compelled to slide down as well.

Feels like the only way to avoid such a thing would be dumb phone + Linux laptop/desktop.

Thankfully flip phones aren't necessary! Startups like Purism are at the cutting edge of building privacy-respecting devices, check it out here: https://puri.sm

Plan to get one as my next phone, although it should be said that both of these offerings are still a bit rough around the edges currently, but getting there

I wouldn't go that far. I need something with a decent browser at the very least.
