You pretty much have to get into self-hosting to truly have great replacements.

Google music - tidal, or qobuz are the same thing but not as bad as Spotify. Otherwise you can self host navidrome or jellyfin->finamp

RSS Feed: choose from like 10 Foss projects on fdroid

Google home: Home assistant is self hosted and like 10x better and can integrate with more things

PDF scanner: Microsoft Lens (not FOSS) but really really really good, doesn't require a Microsoft account, doesn't have extra permissions, and barely has telemetry. If you are OK with >10x slower, there is OSS Document scanner

VPN: ProtonVPN, Mullvad, maybe PrivateVPN. You have to pay for one. The app is wireguard or openvpn

Google photos: Immich is pretty much a perfect replacement

WhatsApp you literally can't get away from. Signal is the easiest replacement, but i could only get mg core friends on it.There is no way 99.9% of people can get their friends and family to switch to matrix or XMPP.
