Yes. I was an early adopter away back when their motto was "don't be evil", when Android devices were premium hardware at extremely low prices, when Google apps were free or super cheap.
They have changed over time. They weren't always greedy scumbags.
I've had a bunch of their pixel phones and one ended up breaking. So I did a warranty exchange and they kept sending me bad phones with even more problems than the one before it. Like their refurb department doesn't even bother fixing a bad device before sending it to their next victim. And they have zero customer service, so I was pretty much screwed. No more pixels for me.
Google went public in 2004. They've always been greedy scumbags. It's just more apparent now since they are constantly looking for new ways to extract money from their customers.
