Big tech conglomerates thrive on their user base. They lure you in, get you hooked into their ecosystem, and then try to convince you to become dependent upon their services.

This tactic is just gas-lighting. There are other options out there but they don't want you to be aware of them or seek them out.

This is a shitty tactic for sure, but it's not gaslighting. Gaslighting would be if they acted like everyone who mentioned the AOSP dialler was crazy for thinking it ever existed. This is standard drug-slinger bullshit.
