That does make sense, I guess. I forget that most people aren't hardcore privacy nuts sometimes. I'm currently on a OnePlus with a custom rom, which'll probably be good for a few more years, but the only new phone I'd consider at the moment would be a pixel with Graphene.

I get people buying cheap Xiaomi phones because they can't afford a more expensive phone. I kinda don't get why people buy expensive Xiaomi phones.
Can confirm, my brother is a furry and on bluesky.
Well, Telegram seems to be giving user data to the German Federal Criminal Police Office, and if they're cooperating with the German authorities, I don't see why I'd presume they aren't cooperating with others as well.
All this is actually documented, compared to those nebulous "important people".
It has been many years since I've used an OS without full disk encryption, so I can't really compare, but I have a Windows Partition for some proprietary software that doesn't like Wine on my PC, and it is really smooth. Might be because it's on a NVME SSD, though.
Well, it kinda does. If you choose to print your keys, you can use print to file and safe them to the encrypted drive, if you really want to for some reason.
Was that in question? I thought it was clear from the beginning that it does pretty much everything in the cloud.
Uh, I understand the sentiment, but the model doesn't know anything. And it's legit really hard to differentiate between factual things and random bullshit it made up.
OpenOffice and OnlyOffice aren't related. OnlyOffice is way closer to MS Office in look and feel.
Pretty sure they really don't like ads they don't make any money from.
It likely isn't. I just got it very cheap some years back, and don't see a good reason to replace it while it still works.
You could always have bad actors, of course, but these Roms tend to be mostly open source community projects, so the incentive structure leading to bad behaviour seems less clear to me, and such behaviour would theoretically be more detectable (how much anyone actually audits the code in practice is another question, of course.) In the end, running any Software you haven't written yourself involves a certain amount of trust.
