Agreed, it's also good for preventing accidentally bricking the phone, since they have experience doing it. That said, I'm not trying to play devil's advocate but if you use something like Tracfone (no KYC and pay-as-you-go, two things I refuse to give up), I'm pretty sure getting a fully degoogled phone isn't viable. I could be wrong but from what I read, it doesn't seem possible. The next best option is to download Shizuku and use it to run Canta, which lets you strip out a lot more of the spyware and bloat than normal.
