This.

I really liked Huawei phones and I wanted to keep using them after the US forced them to part with Google, but after doing some research and finding out some of the everyday things I wouldn't be able to do due to not having the Google Play Services (I'm not even talking about not having a Google account!), I just gave up.

Huawei isn't much better in terms of user freedom.

Which everyday things ?

At this point we programmers should make our voices heard and make it very clear that people still using platforms, or worse, forcing platforms on others, are collaborating with / are totalitarian extremists.

(Yes, this also means those of you still using GitHub, Discord, Reddit, YouTube...)
