so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that’s privacy respecting?

    Android does not innately send data to Google, just a lot of phone manafacturers ship with Google apps reinstalled, such as google play and other telemetry. If you install the default Android open source project without anything else, and use F-Droid or Aurora to get your apps, you don’t need Google at all.

      Google is so embedded in most stock Android version it’s pretty much impossible to lock it all out. Google assistant, Gboard, RCS, location services… You can start disabling it all manually but there’s a big chance you will miss something ot some update will just enable it back for you.
