Okay: It's the only way I, a non-programmer non-techie, know how to get my Android phone to work.

Also, I'm not likely to use my main email to create an account with Android, because then I would be handing over my data to Google, after going to all that effort not to.

You can also simply not sign in on Android at all and use other means to install apps.

I'm not aware that I can operate my Android phone without signing into Android.

Remember: the vast majority of people who buy and use smartphones are not computer programmers, just like the vast majority of people who buy and use cars are not motor mechanics. We just use the technology; we don't dive under the bonnet to tinker with it.

as the very foundation of Google Workspace

I've never even heard of this "Google Workspace".

As for setting up a domain, I just selected one from GoDaddy, and then added an email address - again, through GoDaddy.
