Theres a couple good videos that talk about the decline of NASCAR by EmpLemon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RjAWFDL3fA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxTAJNifDAI
From what I remember, it boils down to the fact they added regulations to make the races safer, which also made them more boring as there were less crashes, less speed, and overall less danger.

G Services were never a part of android though, and android is fully functional without them if youre running a FOSS suite of apps. There are multiple options to restore GService functionality while maintaining privacy such as MicroG which is a reverse engineering of GServives to make them FOSS, and Sandboxed GServices which is literally just gservices, sandboxed, which will provide 1:1 compatibility with all your apps provided youre fine with having google code on your device.
In terms of “control” on Android, it really depends on what you mean. On Android you can still uninstall every app you want provided you have access to ADB, unlike Windows where you can’t uninstall the damn built in web browser. Android also makes a lot of privacy features easier to access such as the ability to immediately turn off your location/camera/mic on the fly if you add them to your notification shade, as well as the Android 12+ feature of the “privacy bubble” that shows you if any running app is currently using location, camera or mic. There are definitely things Windows is “better” at, such as tweaking the UI/UX, but in all fairness if M$ could disallow that without breaking their legacy codebase they would.
I mean, what are you referencing specifically because Android is still an open source operating system with healthy forks (Lineage, Calyx, Graphene, Muerena, PixelOS etc.) and ChromiumOS is open source I believe, even if its just a fork of Gentoo. Is there something I’m unaware of?
The open source nature kind of prevents that. Other projects have been made an example of like OwnCloud -> NextCloud, Emby -> Jellyfin, and I’m sure there are more I just can’t think of ATM.
what if the batteries go bad and carrode the syrup ? i have no idea other than it being out of the ordinary

Graphene with sandboxed G services should support it, however most banks do provide PWA support so you should check that if you haven’t already, as well as filing an issue with MicroG about your bank if possible.
You can side load the Google Phone apk if its really that important, but I wouldnt personally want google to have a log of every phone call Ive ever made, including medical calls.
Fellas, its time to switch to degoogled ROMs. just pick one, theyre all great. lineage, calyx, Graphene, Muerena, whatever. theyre all better than stock because shit doesnt get installed without your consent.

so instead of taking the olive branch and saying “oh I guess my approach to this issue is going to make more people turn away my argument and I should change how I phrase it” what you took away from my comment was “its everyone elses fault and not mine that no one is listening to me”… lol. listen Gru, were not your minions.

I understand why you said this but you did not need to act like you have some higher moral standard because of it. Some people want to play video games without having to even THINK about the possibility of a game asking you to tweak a config to get the optimal experience, especially if youre a linux gamer. There are no options for people who want a console without a walled garden. Your closest shot is the Steam Deck, but the steam deck is shot in the knee by every company who uses an anti-cheat.
Before you say they just shouldnt play those games, consider the fact that some people aren’t willing to give up things they already have for Something new and unfamiliar they have to spent months to learn and years to master.
