There are very few choices for a cheapish phone that gets security updates and isn't drowning in crapware and "telemetry". It looks like Nokia is the last brand releasing Android One mobiles: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One#2021

Currently I am using a Nokia 3.4 and it has been great value IMHO.

I realize this doesn't fit the narrative in here. But Xiaomi actually allows you to remove any app without root via USB. You kinda have full control about your apps at least, something that is already luxury these days

Do they stay removed, or do you have to remove them again after some update?

So far they nothing reappeared that I have noticed. At least not the obvious ones, may a service one reappeared.
