Depending on the tablet, you might not be able to unlock the bootloader. I have a Chinese Lenovo model Y770 that's not unlockable.
You can always remove your google account from the tablet and install Aurora Store and f-droid to keep google from tracking what you're using. Every step in the right direction is a step away from google.
Using Open Street Maps, Mull, Brave, librewolf, various proton apps or whatever you prefer will let you get away from the built in google stuff.
Thanks! However I thought it was advised to stay away from Aurora away because of it uses a less strong worthy app repository, in that malicious actors could upload stuff.
