This is kind of a lazy approach, and it's a good thing Stallman did not have that attitude towards personal computers.

But it's a bummer that there's no real equivalent for mobile devices. I use an Android device and I already consider it to be more locked down than Windows. Generally more irritating than Windows as well (maybe not Windows 11)

I also use it as little as possible (unfortunately more and more things require it) and try to get the smallest functional (for me) Android devices.

There are alternatives, using them involves sacrifices though, and there the modem baseband isn't replaceable yet. Take a look at GrapheneOS, F-Droid, Replicant, Purism Librem, PinePhone, PostmarketOS, PureOS, Mobian etc.
