I should have provided more info.
I am not defending that FRPs should not exist, rather that there should be an option to utilize them without an account.
Graphene devs are considering using a random code similar to an account restoration.
This assumes everything works fine. It's probably an edge case, but on my Nexus 6P an update somehow messed with my encryption keys, and the screen lock pattern that I'd used for over a year stopped getting recognised. I can't remember the solution but I vaguely remember having to factory reset. Whatever the solution was, it wasn't too different to what a thief would do... I was bypassing the screen lock after all.
Who's devices? This is not a manufacturer dependent thing.
Android is useful without any google built-in software, and unfortunately it's not affordable to avoid having a smartphone in today's world.
If you wanted to say to not buy Android devices, all I can say is you are very ignorant. And ignorance is a lot of things but novel.
I do not know if your being sarcastic, ignorant, or lazy, but there are other companies out there that produce cheap phones with operating systems other than android.
There's a reason iOS and Android OS both dominate the market: they do literally everything all these phones attempt to do but better in pretty much every single way, including the ability to easily de-Google ironically.
