AOSP with MicroG vs Nextdns with good lists

How better is AOSP or Graphene OS with MicroG or Sandboxed google services compared to just using NextDNS with some good filters.
I mean microg or graphene os will still connect to internet for google stuff I use. Also I can block internet access for a domain using NextDNS which is quite similiar to cutting network access in graphene OS. So how come stock android with NextDNS is less private than MicroG/GrapheneOS.

    I use GrapheneOS and NextDNS. And NoScript. There’s some overkill there but I figure why not.

    To your question, GrapheneOS has put a lot of thought into features like sandboxing Google Play services so you can choose to use none/some/all depending on your preference. I would think that’s probably a smoother experience than trying to block google services selectively via NextDNS. GrapeheneOS also makes it easier to manage per-app permissions and security features.
