Same, I do however also write all of my password in a notebook, so I don’t lose them if anything bad happens.

Same, World of Tanks is the first game that comes to my mind when people mention pay2win mechanics. I am quite happy that I don’t play that game anymore.

GSI (Generic System Image) ROM-s do have bare-bones apps due to their nature of being mostly designed for developers. That won’t really be a problem as you can just install better alternatives to those apps. The problem with these ROM-s is that they most likely won’t have drivers for the camera for example. Also the phone has to be Treble-compliant and it has to come with Android 9 (ie. it has to be preinstalled, devices that have been upgraded to Android 9 aren’t supported.)
