Root vs ADB Uninstall for Debloating

If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer’s bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to “uninstall” the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option?

LineageOS for MicroG update speed

I had reimaged my old Samsung on LineageOS as it seemed to be the only alternative that supported my model. It was fine until I installed OSMAnd, which couldn’t get a location.

Is there a way to restrict access to Google services on a Google account?

I need Google for the cloud contacts storage (I’m an Android user and need a Google account for the Play Store anyway, since I use proprietary mandatory bank apps anyway and music apps I use are proprietary too and Aurora Store never works for me). For example, I don’t have a gmail, because I made the account with my proton...
