It is possible depending on the ROM you use. If you are using a ROM that is close to AOSP, then it shouldn’t be too hard, even though some apps might break. If it is a stock ROM from a big vendor with a lot of spyware, then good luck. What you might call a successful decorporstisation will certainly involve vendor-specific proprietary blobs, so not a 100% win in any case. Also, sometimes you don’t get to choose which apps to use (e.g. it may be a requirement or there might be no suitable alternatives).

Yeah, Xiaomi phones require vendor-specific proprietary blobs, but that’s different than having Google know where I am and where I’ve been in the world, what sites I visit, and so on.
