Check out GrapheneOS! It's built from AOSP with some privacy and security improvements, no change in user experience though. It also removes all the bloated Google crap, as well as the spyware. It's the only mobile OS I would use nowadays.
There are millions of systems still running windows 95 for hardware that can't use anything newer (think CNC machines).
These are never connected to the internet though. Also, these aren't personal devices that store sensitive information, they're just used for one specific task (and without internet connection), which is fine.
No, you're just telling them your opinion. Just make sure to stay calm and friendly, don't get aggressive or insult them and you'll be fine.
Having a Stripe integration literally means having JavaScript on your site. Sure, it doesn't come from your website directly, but it's still loaded and executed when someone visits the site and tries to pay. TL;DR: Of course it's possible. Everything is possible. Having some FOSS JavaScript from WooCommerce isn't that bad though, and you'll likely need nonfree JS for payments anyway.

blocks Tor exit nodes and VPNs
Actually, only Reddit blocks VPNs. I'm able to access all the other big social media platforms behind my VPN.
How would you integrate with a payment processor? Handling payments yourself means that you would have to comply with the PCI standard and get audits in regular intervals, which are insanely expensive and only make sense if you actually run a large business which makes money from card transactions.
Not directly related, but if you ever want to watch YouTube videos on a Chromecast (or any Android TV-based device), check out SmartTube. It completely removes all ads and other annoying stuff and massively improves the experience.
From my experience: They're pretty good
