Who asked? If they cared about users they would install F-droid not Epic store.

On android you also have Shizuku and Canta.

Or you can install Shizuku and App OPS to remove the clipboard permission and many more from apps.

Newer motorola smartphones promise 5 years of software updates. Everyone before is screwed. But, buying the newest should be fine if they research before making a purchase.

This will limit phones without longterm software support. The ones which don’t provide decent enough software support will be left in the dust.
