I'm not sure what your point is.

My point is that even with unlimited resources it's impossible to de-Google yourself.

De-Googling (in this context at least) means not running Google software on your phone. No Google Play Services always running in the background, plus not using Google apps.

Ah. I misinterpreted "de-Googling." It is refreshing, though, to know that the cranky folks of HN still downvote honest mistakes.

[tomaytotomato]

Yes as BenjiWiebe said.

I was meaning more removing your reliance on Google in your life for search, photos, entertainment.

You can start small with Duckduckgo etc.
