You do have the option to use non-Google messaging and dialer/phone apps that are not controlled by or otherwise interact with Gemini.

May be tangential, but Google Voice did this for the first time earlier this year. I've since moved as many of my people over to signal as possible

You have to install Gemini.

I was able to run it as a guest, but then Google changed it so that you're forced to log in with your Google account in order to use it.
Google literally has to ruin everything.
