The default-config of a new phone is designed to get the average 95 year-old to be able to do basic things like search the internet, text and use email, while optimizing big-tech's ability to track and surveil you. I am very close to using OSS-only and prefering FDroid distributed software over everything else. What is truly annoying is there are features on the phone that you are not allowed to turn off, things that impact your privacy. I'm just not willing to downgrade to a degoogled phone at this point.
