... Installed Graphene OS and deleted my Google account. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it was a project long in the making. Decoupling from cloud services / apps that are dependant on GAPPS is surprisingly difficult. It felt really good to delete my account in the end.

I agree with you for the most part, but personally voting with my money is more important to me. I'd rather put money into a project that wants to do better rather than into one that doesn't and hacking it to fit my needs. My hope, as I've stated, is by the time I need a new phone the level of service will be a non issue.

That's your choice and I'm not going to argue with that. I don't know when you are planning to get a new phone but I personally think that Linux phones will be much better as second phone rather than full Android replacement for a long time.
