Why I de-Googled

The problem with de-googling is rarely the lack of reason. Most people have at least 1... the problem comes when you try to find a similarly featured alternative.

E.g. I have been on the lookout for an affordable email provider which has a reliable track record of having their mails delivered, but each one I have found had at least weeks long period of having delivery issues. Or Android... the only realistic alternative is iOS... well, you tell me which is worse. Sure, I have played with Linux on mobile, and there is a reason why it is not a thing.

Okay, their search engine is the easiest to ditch - they managed to bring its quality down to the level of bing and yandex. The switch is pretty much seamless now...
