Sure. That's a given anyway. And the government can send their mercenaries to drag you away in the night. What of it?
The point here is to deprive big tech globocorps of your business, and therefore the data they use to track you, and therefore their ability to easily find and damage you. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc cannot track you or ban you if you do not use their services.

Agreed. Seems to me it would be good to build something from the ground up, starting with a banking outfit or whatever.
I believe GAB tried to create a whitelabel payment system to be able to use it for their own service and that didn't work
Ultimately, you cannot coexist with people who want you dead. That's why none of these "build your own" measures work for very long.
Walking away is pointless, unless you give them reason not to follow, and take measures to make sure they stay out.
Everything short of this is just a temporary workaround, to survive a little longer while while in occupied and hostile territory.
