These apps are worse. Each of them has its own horrible interface and horrible surveillance functionality. For Android they usually check if you have an officially sanctioned and non-rooted google phone. If I wanted to be patronized by the phone manufacturer, I would buy apple... I indeed do want to have full control over my phone. It is a freedom we are gradually losing. RMS was right all along... But if course they do not care about actual security, that means if your phone has current security patch level. So for old phones with no official patches you can't even install Lineage and you're worse off.
