Yeah this definitely isn't about keeping your data private from Google, it's for keeping data private from other people using your phone. You can use stock AOSP (which this feature will be part of) if you need to get away from Google completely, but I think Graphene OS seems like the way to go if you just want to quarantine Google services separately.
Since this is meant for hiding things, it's a bit different from the work profile feature Shelter uses too. Apps will be completely hidden to the user unless the secure profile is unlocked, whereas work profile apps are sill visible. Using Shelter also uses up the one work profile you can have on a device, so you won't be able to set up a real one if your job needs it. This new thing will be a whole new profile, so you can have both.
Thank you the detailed response and I appreciate the nuance here.
Comment was mostly tongue in cheek.
Customroms are great but I don't think discussing it here is permit since articles here are google atroturf.
If you have any articles about custom ROMs, please post them. I've been using LineageOS for the past month!
