Pixel is a decent alternative, and de-googled pixel is even better yet.

Why would anyone opt in 😭
Is this just so they can wait a few months and say, “Not enough people were discovering this Great Feature, so we’re enabling it by default”?
I’ve already been getting the itch to leave Samsung and try something different. I’m keeping my eye on the upcoming Nothing Phone 3, if it’s genuinely a “flagship” for £800 I might jump ship.

The main issue with the Pixel is that there is still going money to Google

Not if you buy second hand, though!

Because the checkbox will be checked by default, and most people just speedrun through the setup as if it was a competition

I tried a Samsung phone a year or two ago. It lasted less than a day before I was so infuriated that I vowed never to use Samsung again. It is SO invasive and pushes so many ads and bloatware.

Samsung bricked by first Android because of an Android update, my friends who bought the same phone two weeks later had no issues …

I know a bunch of folks who will opt in because their thought process regarding technology is pretty much “new = good.”
