What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?

Nope, not GMail either, even GMail has ads now.

yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?

If their criteria was "at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes" then it would not have been removed 🤔

likely no maintenance effort at all.

The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.

Indeed, rooting usually beats the purpose.

Not because it inherently makes you less private, but because having bad security makes it hard to be private, and opening up a way in android to allow apps to do what they want (selective root access) usually requires punching a lot of holes.

Even with AVBRoot, which allows you to setup Magisk or KernelSU with full Verified Boot support, you're still leaving open the possibility that something abuses the fact you're rooted against you.

But just so you know, if you insist, you can skip the step of locking your pixel's bootloader and install Magisk, but do not expect any support from that point onwards.

Probably the only downside with this is the fact that it can take quite some time for the call to actually connect

I mean, in the context of anonymity that is very good due to it's design, but maybe not perfect for this usecase
