How do you do that?

Not OP, but this can be managed with Datura firewall on CalyxOs

Welp, guess I'll choose between China and Microsoft, then.

You can sandbox an app using Shelter. You can block the internet access of that app using NetGuard. Both apps are available on F-Droid and easy to setup. No special OS needed but I strongly recommend GrapheneOS to avoid backdoors.

Thank you vm! NetGuard is awesome. I will test Shelter.

Glad to help. Consider dropping the NetGuard dev some coin, he's doing incredible work. He also develops FairEmail which imho is the best IMAP email app in existence.
