Custom ROMs, such as CalyxOS, are based on AOSP. Per their own website(which lambasts Google and highlights Samsung for some reason):
“Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the core backbone for all Android phones that manufacturers such as Samsung build upon. Maintained by Google, AOSP receives contributions from developers around the world.”
By using a Custom ROM, and from developers contributing to the AOSP, they are supporting Google, agreeing to Google, and helping Google further their ends. Yes, your experience may differ from stockdroid, but if you think you are away from Google, Calyx admits in that one line that despite their platitudes, they are still beholden to Google. If Google restricts access to AOSP, which they can as they are who grants access in the first place, congrats, it becomes the high waters or a dead project.
