I wish I had your willingness to deal with these problems.
I'm tired. I just want to go on with my life without all those troubles. When I was younger, I was spending days trying to make everything work on my Cyanogenmod... and before that, I was already tinkering with Linux.
But I'm tired. I wish companies weren't pieces of shit and they just let us use an open system. :(
To be honest, they're not really problems as such, more a case of resetting expectations back a few years.
While I had gotten very used to being able to pay for everything with Apple Pay on the 13 mini I had previously, all I've had to do with my Pixel 9 is buy a magsafe wallet (and magsafe case for the magsafe-less phone). And for everything else, there's a web site. It's kind of annoying having to use an SMS 2FA code EVERY TIME I log into my bank's site, but not particularly inconvenient.
I will caveat my comments by noting that I do have Play services installed, so there are some Google features on my phone. Mostly that was to help soften the transition between having everything available to me through Apple's services to having nothing available in Graphene. But my understanding is that Google's footprint in Graphene is significantly less intrusive, and mostly limited by guardrails that I can set.
