I'm basically okay with this in the interim, but I am now **highly suspicious** of any custom OS they release. I haven't looked into how feasible it is to root the DC-1 or install custom OSes, but if they pull some Apple-level shit where you have to install their spyware OS to use the (extremely expensive) device, I'm gonna lose it.

Yeah, it's a valid concern. I remember them launching a forum for custom ROMs not too long ago. Maybe we'll get some 3rd party OSs to install down the line.
Well I read their privacy policy and I sent them a data deletion request. I wasn't even using their service account or their apps anyway. Nowhere in the document did I get a sense that they've backdoored their operating system beyond whatever tracking happens when you sign in with Google.
