> deMicrosofted windows isn't a thing for a reason

About this part, I'm not sure I understand.

"deMicrosoft" was, and is a thing. See "windows 7 umattended edition" or "windows 10 reclaim scripts". Same with android and custom roms.

Corporate greed bloats up perfectly fine operating systems for as long as I can remember, and de-bloating them has and is still a thing.

Stock android is not so bad (2023); android has to cater to a broader ecosystem of vendors and hardware, hence the heterogenity and the overall not streamlined experience that comes with it, that much is certainly true.

Projects like that exist for sure, but they don't have widespread use. I mean, there is even ReactOS and Wine but none of those suceedes as an alternate OS like even one Linux distro alone like Ubuntu.

If you like android though deGoogled alternatives are good but they're a niche
