     Nope, we must not. As I said, and you again 'conveniently' dishonestly   
   snipped:   
      
      
     Also there are many other backup apps for Android, which can also   
   backup/restore APKs.   
      
      
     That's the beauty about a platform like Android, choice.   
      
     As this is the second time  you try to make your point by lying by   
   omission, it's EOD.   
      
     BTW, I assume that the 'Backup by Google One' method is part of gapps,   
   which is optional in LineageOS, so while it may be implemented for/by   
   LineageOS, it can't be considered "the default backup" for LineageOS.   
      
     BTW2, While the Samsung Smart Switch *program* on *Windows* probably   
   can only backup/restore a Samsung device, the Smart Switch *app* on   
   *Android* can backup/restore any Android device, that's one of its main   
   purposes.
