> What about Linux (Android) being used as the prime spyware vector

To deal with that, consider using GNU/Linux phone Librem 5 recommended by the FSF: https://www.fsf.org/givingguide.

> and Linux being used for cloud lock-in

What do you want to discuss here? There is always a possibility to use tools for the evil. Non-free software is used for that, too (much more).

I've been waiting for my Librem 5 (that I paid for) for four years...

Same here. However they do have a good reason for that now: https://forums.puri.sm/t/i-mx-8m-quad-availability-and-price....

Right, and I'm actually still OK with it. This was always a "it would be really nice if this was a thing" play on my end. Just calling out that it's not really the option that the parent post implied.

It's not an option to immediately use the phone, but it's an option to support the change.
