Just gonna plug FlorisBoard here. A bit barebones for now but at least it respects your privacy.

In short word suggestions are hard to implement

Tbh i started using florisboard coz i found word suggestions on google board very scary , it felt like they been tapping each word typed by me ! Florisboard is nicely customizable , although auto correct would be a nice feature to have !

isn't it dead?

Apparently they've been caught up in working on predictions for a good while which has been harder than they expected, so that's slowed development and releases considerably. So not abandoned by the devs for what its worth.

Perhaps. The last update is from June 2022 and the last contribution is 3 months old
