Good summary. Every time I install some random new app I feel like I exposed my phone to predators. As a result I don't even install new apps anymore, and when I do they get uninstalled quickly because they're really hostile. Let's take Twitter, you install it, it wants to know you date of birth and your phone number. Absolutely not. Facebook, if you have it and Instagram installed and allow "media access" it scans your phone's ssd to detect instagram then proceeds to annoy you to asking if you that's your instagram account and if you want to connect those. No I do not, I'd rather unistall both so you can't further spy on me. And many many more such examples. I just pick the 2 most prominent.

Also I don't see the phone as a proper OS where I would spend money on. It's a gadget, a plaything and my head hurts if I use it too long and I need some time to recover.
