I think you may be right that bare bones Android may not track you.

Question is, is there a bare bones android available in the devices we
buy? Anyone can download the source code, fork it, mod it, and utilize
it. And the device makers all do. Don't you think they add a few sneaky
things of their own to the OS? Course they do. Is it still called the
Android OS? Yep. And then there's those apps that you can't delete or
disable and run automatically. Are they part of the OS? Technically no
but in reality?

Bottom line you may be technically correct, but in the real world (IMO)
not so much...
