I didn't pay for any Google bullshit and barely use anything of theirs these days. I paid for the hardware. There are literally full custom roms that sandbox and/or disable their junk

You did pay for everything, you just decided you won't use the features you paid for. Your loss.

No they didn't. Google doesn't allocate money out of the Android phone sale for any of these services.

These services make money by making you the product. They don't make money unless you use it.
