I don’t want to let Google into my life to the degree required for me to be able to use a Nothing Phone. I actually switched from Apple to Android with a Nothing Phone first and then went for a Pixel with Graphene because, ironically, that makes it much easier to keep Google at bay.
Support for MicroG or some other Google Play replacement would really unlock your brand for me. I didn’t leave Apple’s ecosystem lock-in to enter another company’s that arguably sucks less at processing my personal data. 😅
