Use Open Camera, or the GrapheneOS Camera app or another FOSS alternative.

Yes but the the pixel camera app has much better quality that the GOS camera or open camera. They cannot compete.

It's terribly frustrating I am so tired of google messing up Android (and their pixels). I use the google camera app on GOS and it needs the play store, Play services and the google photo...

Specify how it has much better quality, then post that spec in some github of your favourite camera app.

Your data is the price for the google app, it isn't free. They can do what they want with it. And you buy it.

My advice for you is to shake off the google camera addiction and notice how good the alternatives are. Good enough for sure, and getting better. I have not missed google camera at all.

Maybe try this freedcam as well.

FreeDCam is also very good, better than OpenCamera in some aspects
