Nobody would define that as mainstream.
I believe it depends on what exactly someone defines as mainstream, for me using degoogled AOSP it's something normal idk if it's mainstream but what exactly it's mainstream depends on the POV don't you believe? But in my humble POV definitely Apple it's not exactly all rainbows about privacy and security, unless you don't mind your "encrypted" stuff being seen by the CIA and the NSA of course.

According to my knowledge as Android have a bigger market share than iOS, then the fact Android would be more mainstream than iOS and getting a degoogled Android it's not as hard using ADB. Yeah I have exaggerated about degoogled rooted AOSP, sometimes I am a little bit sarcastic, but anyway, the point it's: nor Google nor Apple are trustworthy if you are really concerned about privacy, if you are just a normal person who will use the phone to storage pics of your fat wife or the big hotdog of Costco I don't think you will have a big problem about it, but if you are related to a political organization, a gov agency or you are doing anything illegal(or politically incorrect) I wouldn't recommend Google or Apple at all anyway.
