…where are chains allowed to abuse security camera footage for ad tracking?

I think it's more: "Don't use a smartphone". It'll send those requests through any internet connection. No matter if it's a VPN.

I forgot I’m in a minority of people running a properly secure degoogled ROM.

Same, same. But the occasional app refusing to work due to missing Play services and all the hoops I have to jump through kind of remind me of that regularly.

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.

I wouldnt be surprised if Google hardcoded DNS servers even if you override it with a “private dns”
