I'd have rather seen Google Pay support than Android Auto though I imagine it's a lot less feasible.

Google Pay support

I can not comprehend this. Ditching Google is why I yearn for alternatives to stock Android.

Privacy isn't a binary choice. Obviously I would love for there to be an alternative to Google Pay but no such service exists.

The most private form of payment is to use cash but that's just hugely inconvenient in 2024. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to pay from my phone when I don't have my wallet on me but custom ROMs don't allow it.

Strive for the future you want, reject bad choices where you can.

I've never paid via my phone. If I could replace debit card with cash I would.
