Base Android is also loaded with crap, directly from Google. Android is the worst mobile operating system, with the exception of all the others.

Base Android (AOSP) is not, what you probably mean is Google Android.

Look at GrapheneOS, that is a usable, privacy-focused Android without bloat.

You ain’t wrong but it is currently the gold standard

You ain’t getting away from glowies, but at least corporate marketing trash can’t track you that easily

There are many other custom ROMs that don’t need pixel. Try LineageOS.

Almost none of the devices are shipped with anything but Google’s Android, and manufacturers don’t provide you alternative versions of Android

Yes, Google owns Android as a whole, but (almost?) every single OEM customizes Android for their purposes. That is not the same thing.

How do u propose that could be done?
