Sure, but the thing is: only a single person needs to break it temporarily in some way and this person can then leak the DRM free copy for everyone to consume.

That’s why DRM is such bullshit. It only ever punishes legitimate users. All others are unaffected.

Typically the point of de-googling is to get independent. If you just go to another SaaS solution, you trade one dependency for another dependency. They can lock you out from one day to the next, increase their prices, change their terms of service, etc.

Also if one of the reasons to turn your back to Google is that they should no longer have access to your data, then look up what the SaaS provider you are turning to is hosting with. Chances are high they are using Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure. So your data still ends up on machines of the big three.

Immich is the only viable alternative, IMO.

The whole Barbie Museum bit was just fantastic. Makes me laugh just thinking back on it.
