> that organizations are trying to force you to have a "audited" phone to interact with them. (I.e. events, businesses, etc)

Even worse, GOVERNMENTS do that. EU Governments basically forcing you to give Google (via the Google Mobile Services rootkit) or Apple (and via the cloud act also the Trump Admin) access to your entire phone (including all of your saved personal data) to use the govt eID system...

Use the old-school ID system.
