All I want is for gboard to stop hijacking my default keyboard. I set futo for a reason and I meant it.

    wrong

    Edit: just noticed it also keeps turning on background mobile data usage dispite me having explicitly disabled that.

    Can't you still remove this stuff via ADB?

    Yes, but you shouldn't.

    After a reboot, a lot of phones can only use the device's default keyboard app for entering the unlock pin/password.

    If you've removed or disabled it, you can get into a situation where you have no keyboard at all, and a delightful chicken-and-egg situation of needing a keyboard you don't have until after unlocking the device to enter the code to unlock the device.

    (A USB keyboard will let you escape this, for what that's worth)

    That's weird. What phone and OS? I've had to explicitly install it on my phones for as long as I can remember: https://i.imgur.com/8MlcpuK.png

    Maybe you have to disable it as a keyboard in settings first?
