Google hardcodes DNS into their hardware appliances…
So you’d need to block outgoing DNS requests except for your DNS server and god forbid you change location with a smartphone.
I think this is about apps and not the operating system. But yeah, the stock ROMs also phone home to Google. You’d need to patch that. For example like custom ROMs like GrapheneOS do. I don’t see another viable alternative. But that still leaves you with the issues with the apps mentioned in the article.
