Conclusion

The reviewed phone makers โ€“ Volla, Fairphone, Shift and Punkt โ€“ focus on producing deGoogled phones with a deGoogled OS preinstalled. Itโ€™s great to see the trend of going Google-free growing, and itโ€™s a strong push-back againstย Googleโ€™s strategy of killing Android freedom and of making it impossible to install any app from any app store on Android.

Thatโ€™s not a very useful conclusion

It sound like something AI written but with some human intervention to make it look like less odd.
Don't quote me on that though
