Something to be cautious of, but we need more actual evidence. Hopefully several different groups with diverse political interests and localities audit the new hardware when it launches.

I have a 2 year old cheap Motorola smartphone because I needed a Googled normie Android burner for certain apps, and I don't like to mix work and private device functions. I will say stock Motorola devices come with an annoying customized version of Android with tons of bloatware out of the box. I was able to remove 99% of it with ADB after identifying the offending packages.

Obvs that shouldn't be a problem with custom De-Googled OS on Motorola hardware.
