I don't mind the sandboxing but they need to make things optional for power users. They still don't have limited access for most of their permissions & even GrapheneOS has added more features around that to limit contacts access & more. Things like desktop mode still suck ass even on Pixel phones. Samsung has went above & beyond with Dex to make it polished & yet Google can't make anything but alpha level shit. Their MDM sucks ass too & is clearly geared towards only being supported on Google Workspace Enterprise just like Chrome configuration & management. People don't want to click through a bunch of prompts & menus to reconfigure their phone & desktop to disable all the data collection & spying bullshit they do, and they don't make it easy to configure that stuff automatically when setting up new devices or profiles.
