You bought it. You could have bought literally almost any other device.

Oh yeah, literally almost any other device is Google joke or Linux phone so hideous that I wouldn’t dare to buy it to even just experiment with it.

I'm a mobile dev, so I have both an iPhone 13 Pro Max that I rarely use, and a Pixel 6 Pro that runs GrapheneOS, which is what I prefer. Diffr't strokes.

The google garden isn’t much better

Actually it is a lot better in this regard. You can write and compile code on the device. You can compile apks on any other device and install it on the phone. You never have to go thru google, unlike in Iphone.
