One silver lining this is finally going to push me to switch to a dedicated camera and some niche unrestricted Linux or graphene device as a phone. Goodbye iPhone. (I say this as someone with an Apple account old enough to auto “qualify”, how lucky).

If you value security and privacy on the phone there's really no alternative to GrapheneOS or iPhone (comparable security, worse privacy).

It's pixel only at the moment, new Motorola devices expected in 2027.

LineageOS with no google services is fine too, most users don't actually need 90% of the Apps they are using.
LineageOS doesn't come close in terms of security, however it's an amazing project for all the hardware abandoned by the vendors -- however I wouldn't go as far as telling people they're using their phones wrong and don't actually need to use 90% of they apps they use :)
