The opensource apps like Newpipe, SmartTube, termux and many others are the “malware”, not the ones with binary blobs on PlayStore that fork VLC, Newpipe and many opensource apps illegally, supposedly “verified” but don’t follow opensource license like GPL, creating fake clones with ads and (real) malware.

Right, only install “verified” from Google Play, but that is where malware is, other 3rd party app stores like F-Droid, that really verify apps are at risk of getting killed by Google

Do One Thing Well: Each program should focus on a single task and perform it effectively.

At the moment im not hosting a music server, but used to use Navidrome, it worked fine and used a small footprint.

Having all in one it’s more issues to solve, if something breaks, everything breaks.
Having all on Jellyfin is more convenient.

But adding hundreds or thousands of songs along with movies and episodes will create a huge database, more resources used, slower searches

For me there’s no “get caught”, and many stuff are only available trough torrent, like some old/obscure movies (some could take a week to download), other only trough DDL like some UK TV shows.

Is it?

Android uses Apache License 2.0, which means vendors can modify and distribute without publishing their modifications, like include proprietary blobs and other proprietary code.

It’s like using Google Chrome instead of Chromium.

Yes you can debloat the system, but many system apps can’t be disabled without breaking the system, and ROMs based on AOSP the code can be reviewed or modified and built it yourself.

Xiaomi and mostly stock ROMs these days come bundled with ads, and apps that collect user data, even with debloat or DNS blackhole isn’t 100% private or better than a custom ROM.
That’s why Graphene and CalyxOS exist.
