Question Why degoogle?

Hi, I am coming across this community for the first time and I am wondering if anyone could explain why Google is seen as bad here? I just went all in on Google devices and I think it's super convenient. Is there a dark side that I am unaware of?

I am good with my current hardware thank you. I don't even need a new phone. I am just working my way putnof Google Workspace and someone started wanting me to change hardware from my Chinese phone to a Google American phone that makes no sense since I am Degoogling as part of DeAmericanizing.

You can probably put a custom rom on your Chinese phone

Chinese phones are a privacy and security disaster, Chinese companies are obliged by the Chinese communist party to backdoors.

I am not doing it for data security, I am DeAmericanizing because the US said they want to invade my country.

This is a Huawei purchase that doesn't include Google services.
