I can't format my phone and install GrapheneOS since my phone is a Motorola, not a Google Pixel. I need Uber and the Play Store, there's not much I can do about that. "roblox linda cringe" isn't a good reason to uninstall it for privacy reasons.
You can have a look at Roblox's Exodus report, if you're curious about the trackers/permissions. https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/729804/
that's interesting; a good reason, I already had plans to remove Roblox from my phone, thanks for giving me more reasons (this time plausible reactions)

I've already seen the partnership between Motorola and Graphene, but nowhere do they say they're going to add Graphene to old Motorola models, only for the new phone(s) in the Graphene line.
And it has no LineageOS either?
I'm currently stuck with stock too, but at least with uad-ng, you can remove/freeze the offenders (or root it and also get a firewall).
Careful: Play Store itself can not be removed, only frozen; you'll get a boot loop otherwise.
And in case of the Xperia 10, i've had to replace the stock dialer (phone app) with the fossify one, since it and a few useless sony apps got crazy about missing Play Services.
unfortunately there's no LineageOS for my Motorola either, I really looked for many privacy-focused operating systems and none of them run on my Motorola
