I'm pretty sure you implied that the ranking was based on security and privacy. I don't see the privacy benefits of using iOS over a custom privacy OS.

Security != Privacy

That's idiotic. Your data being insecure is inherently not private.

Do your research then. I'm not here to hand hold you through this.
Privacyguides.org is a great place to start for beginners.
Their forum is a much more informed community then what you will find here or god forbid r/privacy

Windows is rooted by design, and that's completely fine by everyone and their dog

Lol nobody is calling windows secure or private. Nobody even mentioned it.

/e/ greatly reduces security vs. AOSP via added attack surface, weakened security model and slow patches.

Thats still better than using /e/. Just download the one without MicroG

That seems like an overly black and white position over something that can be either quite valid or entirely nonsense depending on the situation and/or threat model.

I have read this several times, and still have no clue what you're trying to say.

Something's are just more secure and private then others. That's just a fact.
Now whether your threat model requires it, is can be much less black and white.

GrapheneOS wins, but whether iOS is more private than CalyxOS or /e/OS I think is very gray, and depends on the threat model, and on most devices they are going to be a significant improvement in privacy, and often security, over stock Android.
Since my threat model includes mainly surveillance capitalism (and no evil maids or targeted attacks) I don't particularly feel like trusting a big tech that's running their own targeted advertisement system.

Personally I think if you look at what privacy features CalyxOS actually offers or the read reviews from someone like kuketz and you realize its pretty lacking in both privacy and security.
I understand your issues with Apple but OTOH I think their offerings of a private relay, RCS messaging by default, properly implemented sandboxing are objectively better features then what most android operating systems can offer. They also are much more reliable in terms of security updates.

Im using it for a couple of years.
I flashed my fairphone 3 by my self back then, before the easy installer. It was the first time i did something "advanced" with a phone, but it worked quite well.
After my fairphone 3 died, I bought a Fairphone 4 via murena. So everything was already installed etc
In total I am happy with the Os. Their goal, the release of privacy oriented OS for everyone (so f.e. even my parents could use them) is quite of a utopia I suppose. But still, the team and community are doing a good job.Yeah I already heard about grapheneOS, but its not working well with fairphone right?
So murena it is for me
And I would recommend to people, who are aware of the downsides and are little enthusiastic -

/e/ has good but not perfect privacy. It still contains connections to Google and they added a tracking parameter to their update calls.
Their update cycles are very slow. You are usually one to two months behind monthly security updates. Full bulletins are a year behind and Webview is a problem as well. They ignore this point and do not realize, that Insuffizienz security is a privacy risk AS well.
So if you want good privacy with a convenient user experience and without thoughts about security, here you go.

And you think degoogling offers no obvious benefits in terms of privacy?
