Can I liberate Echo Dot (3rd Gen), somehow?

I have successfully liberated/degoogled my mobile (CrDroid) , watch (AoS), Kindle, FireTvStick, router and laptop. Though I don’t seem to find anything on Alexa / Echo Dot.

The best I could do was adding a blocklist on my Pihole, though didn’t seem to do much. I disabled all ad related settings in the mobile companion app.

Yes I could host an homeassistant or Mycroft on a Raspberry Pi, but the alexa speakers are too good a product for listening to music (For me).

Thoughts?
