you might need a time machine for that
why now all of a sudden
It's not new though, it has been happening for years. Selection bias might be skewing your view.
Are we not even going to talk about how many of their sites/wikis are filled with fake/misinformation and go to great lengths to document completely non-existent things in a way that isn't always obvious to outsiders?
Some, examples, here, however there are many examples that make absolutely no mention that anything listed is actually a "fanon".
I don't have a precise answer as I'm not from that team, but as a developer I think I have a decent idea as to why, and it's mostly political.
First, I don't think it's necessarily the ability to install Play Services that makes them think it's not FOSS, but that they distribute non-free firmware blobs which are necessary to make practically any modern phone function properly, that's just the unfortunate reality because "we live in a society" that enables it. By that logic, I think they believe the vast majority of running Linux kernels on the planet are not FOSS. GNU would rather have things that are not practical and don't exist today... their stance is not currently realistic in our capitalist society IMO. They hope for things to change, but hope doesn't make change.
I also think some people look down on the Play Services thing merely because they went out of their way to explicitly support it in the OS, and basically nothing else. They disagree ideologically with F-Droid and they don't offer any other app stores by default to my knowledge.

There's also TLS-based fingerprinting which cloudflare uses to great success, no html/css/js even needed for that.
what privacy lol, it's already gone
yea that's not true technically. the only reason usenet hasn't been dismantled by infinite court cases is its obscurity.
apparently so.
Just don't ask what hyprland is.
