I might have misunderstood this but is Android really trying to push this as tracking as a privacy upgrade, simply because it let's us choose which of our interests we want advertisers to have access to?

Not in this century, unfortunately. Even using a SIM card is going to let companies track you.

Two cans and a string should be a good solution then. It respects your privacy and the battery life is unbeatable.

Vulnerable to the tin can in the middle attack.

Honestly theres a half dozen e2ee apps these days with voice calling support, and WiFi is everywhere. Most people have no reason for a SIM card

Exactly, so "degoogling" your phone isn't a solution.
