In the same solar system, here is a list of game engine recreations, most of which are open: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engine_recreations

Apple is absolutely preferable in the phone world to Google, to my eye. Beyond that, I understand the attraction to the ecosystem, but I have actually not had a practically great experience with it.
I own a pair of Airpods that I've had for about five years now. They're... fine, for podcasts, but they have never been as seamless as I wanted them to be with my phone. They have always been quirky with how they pair; either one doesn't pair and the other one does, or there is a delay in pairing, etc. Overall, though, they have been a good product.
I made a genuine attempt to like the Apple watch, but I just couldn't. Much of it was un-intuitive and getting it to work seamlessly with the Airpods and phone was a nightmare. I was actually a little shocked at how bad the integration was, given all I had heard about the ecosystem. Traded it back in for credit.
My wife uses a Macbook, and I have been tempted by the new silicon's battery life, but I realize that I just don't have an interest or a need to use Mac OS. Linux is quirky, too, but familiar. I tried using her laptop and I struggled to navigate the basic menus; that's not a comment on Mac OS, but rather my own inability. I'm getting old and have used Linux for too long.
Use what works for you. This isn't really a moral issue. I think FOSS is inherently political to a degree, and of course I think it is better for society, but at the end of the day what matters is what you accomplish with the tool, much less the tool itself. You are a physician and the most important thing is that you take good care of your patients.
Proton all the way. E-mail, calendar, contacts, Proton Drive, and VPN if you want it. You can use a custom domain for your e-mail address, as well. Photos are another story, though.
