This should be far more secure and privacy friendly than a Sim card of a cellular connection. Why isn't this done more often? What are the Pros and Cons. I bet the price is similar as well.

Any android phone lets you disable the GPS and use airplane mode, so custom ROMs aren't needed for that.

But de-googled ROMs do indeed have less/no data going to google, although the apps you install will be the same either way.
