It really is a daunting task to decouple from big tech services. It's taken me years as well, and I am still not done. Wouldn't go back if I had the choice though.
It's truly frightening in hindsight how dependent we all are on outsourced web services. I mean it's gotten to the point where people's entire smart home is controlled by some centralised server in China; the internet goes down and you can't control your lights lol. The holy grail for me is a local voice assistant that doesn't touch the internet. Unfortunately the current offerings can't match the cloud options from Amazon, Google and Apple.
