"Unfortunately that ecosystem doesn't exist yet so we're stuck with the duopoly of evil-doers..."

That is no longer the case. There are projects starting to come out which are open source and building on top of AOSP like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS and a few others but those two are solid options at the moment.

I am not sure why GrapheneOS doesn't get mentioned here on HN but it's seriously a wonderful project that includes privacy features not available even on iOS. They are this far ahead of the game when it comes to privacy and security. Highly recommend checking them out.

Probably because with GrapheneOS you have to rely on Android phone vendors which lock down the devices more every year. In my opinion, this is not a sustanable solution in the long term. GNU/Linux phones could be more sustainable.
