of course google wants every developers id the second they get into bed with a fascist federal government
Yeah well luckily for them, people don't seem to know how to write anything but webapps anymore anyway.
In an environment most convenient for making webapps people make webapps.
It's not even such a wrong idea honestly, if the "web" in "webapp" were a bit leaner and you'd make local applications with something document-oriented for GUI looking at a local service. It's just a decent bit of structure to make application design easier. Nothing wrong with that IMHO.
But, ahem, when by "webapp" we mean that we have a browser fulfilling the role of an operating system, and there's one company making it, then something is wrong.

This sucks for the average person but, well, everything tends to. If you don't look for avenues around literally everything "default", you're being scammed. They don't, so they will be.
I do, so I'll be carrying a Oneplus 6T and slapping a mobile Linux OS on it for my needs.
that's not usable!
For you.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I literally have no idea in which community this question goes.
I just got Samsung Galaxy A16, and then I learn just how controlling Google/Android is becoming. Research says I SHOULD be able to deGoogle and flash a ~~linux OS~~ custom Android ROM
My question is, as a beginner, which one should I go for? does it have any issues I need to look out for?
Note: Edited for clarity.
You cannot do so on Samsung devices. They have disabled the ability to unlock the bootloader on their devices and therefore you cannot install custom operating systems on them anymore.
If you want to install custom software like that, you always have to do your research beforehand and choose a device that will allow you to do so.
