The problem with degoogling your phone in the west is that you may hit something that requires a non-rooted, pristine manufacturer provided rom to work.

In my case, my bank won't allow me to do online payments unless I validate the payments through a smartphone app as the 2fa. They do not do texting/sms based 2fa anymore.

The app will refuse to launch on a rooted phone or a custom rom. To me, this means a degoogled phone is absolutely unusable. I can't do without being able to use my credit card online.

This is in fact the sort of thing that will happen soon to the web if browser attestation becomes a thing. I can already see it coming, my bank rejecting logins from browsers that are not untempered, Google-provided.
