I did concede and I do largely agree with your responses. There's any number of barriers stopping average people from switching, as much as it pains me to admit.

For the tech-inclined, there are plenty of alternative email providers and setting up email forwarding is a breeze, just as there many cloud photo services, CoMaps is likely going to see improvements in navigation, IoT devices/apps aren't always reliant on external services, there are likely viable assistant alternatives around emerging, and hopefully inexpensive, private smart doorbells sprout up.

I personally never invested heavily into a phone. I just never found them particularly impressive, even with higher-end hardware. I tinker more than most people in a general sense, but my phone only gets used like how an average person would. I do a couple things on it, I don't use anything special, and I'm not too picky. I just tend to avoid using the thing unless I get a phone call, message, or I want to check out the weather or social media.
