Let me know when you're trying to eliminate having a Google or Apple account to do anything instead of making it less intolerable/invasive to have one.

GrapheneOS works well without a Google account and has no built-in way to use one. Most apps work fine without one, but there's the standard issue of services requiring it for login. Having at least a throwaway account is also useful for the sandboxed Google Play Store but people also install those apps via Aurora Store which uses shared throwaway accounts.
