Right: Look at the ways Google has persistently taken away user-control and autonomy on the OS level.
Why would we expect the same company to exhibit a completely opposite philosophy as they add LLM features?
Idk I feel like Ansible and RHEL aim to give you that control in a way that’s not typically corporate icky in the way you describe but ymmv. Granted both are products based on FOSS; so in the broader sense that pattern may hold
