GrapheneOS on a Pixel is that competitor. Open source, more secure than Apple, compatible with nearly all Android apps. It's all the positive aspects of Android without the downsides (Google).

> compatible with nearly all Android apps

The "nearly" is the issue. Opting out of the Apple/Google duopoly comes at a great cost.

I've used it for 3 years and the only app I couldn't use has been Google pay/wallet.

Truly is nearly. Some apps (banks) you need to toggle a compat mode.
