The (my) Jolla Phone can't come soon enough. I really hope it holds up to the expectations.

I lost some functionality with the Fairphone, but it was worth the tradeoff
I'm thinking flip phone and taking an old Microsoft surface and putting Linux on it. I don't see any other way to be open source where Google can't fuck around with you.
I would do GrapheneOS, but I figure Google will find a way to block it or wreck it
It was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I switched to graphene OS just a month ago when I first heard about it.
I'm happy to report it was easy, everything works perfectly and the user experience is better. Full control, no bloat. Should have switched way sooner but I was intimidated by never having done any installs on a phone.
Elaborate? Surely there will still be some hidden option to allow me to sideload APK files?
I think there is a way to allow this - the way involves a 24h wait time

I switched to /e/OS and it's glorious. Just ignore their cloud services. You don't need them.
