    On some technical level you may be correct, but their site claims that /e/os is degoogled.

    https://e.foundation/e-os/

    /e/OS is a “deGoogled” version of Android OS. It has an open-source Android OS core, with no Google apps or Google services accessing your personal data.

    • Google default search engine has been removed from the OS everywhere and replaced with our new ethical search engine: Murena Find
    • Google Services have been replaced by microG
    • Connectivity checks do not use Google servers
    • We do not use Google’s Network Time Protocol servers
    • We do not use Google’s Domain Name System servers
    • Geolocation uses BeaconDB Location Services in addition to GPS

    So I would love to know more about what you’re talking about.
