Google didn't tell Android users much about Android System SafetyCore before it hit their phones, and people are unhappy. Fortunately, you're not stuck with it.
Correct. Reading the documentation this code was part of Google Messages and has now be put into a separate APK for reasons to increase transparency and safety as the app as no internet access (while google messages has) and thus it can be shown that all processing is done locally.
I also see other wild claims about it. e.g. that it consumes 2GB of RAM because its specs say that it has system requirements of 2GB RAM and so on.
There are so many Google Apps which really do send your data into the cloud. Starting from the keyboard! Attention should focus on them and not on the new unknown thing which is a great kernel for conspiracies. And because some of them can’t be denied network access (Google Play services) you draw the correct conclusion: Switch platform to Lineage/Graphene/…
