If we look at Android instead, I can just use one of the other app stores. Most of my apps come from F-Droid, and my updates come from GrapheneOS, not Google (though they basically package up Google's updates). If Google completely disappeared, I'd probably just donate to GrapheneOS so they can afford to take over SW maintenance. But even if I don't get any more updates, my phone is already quite secure and I'd still get updates for the vast majority of my apps.

I want something like GrapheneOS for my car. Or better yet, I want my car to be simple enough that it doesn't need security updates to keep going. My car should go when I step on the accelerator pedal, and stop when I hit the brakes. It doesn't need internet access or security updates to do that.
