For various reasons, I've become a fan of Amazon as a place to shop for physical book, so buying Kindle books would be a natural choice.

However, based on my experience with the Kindle app on an Android phone, and other factors, I don't want to use a Kindle or Kindle app as my primary means for reading ebooks. I give Amazon enough information about myself when I shop. Using a product that they own and that has the potential to know everything that I read is just too much.

Can I read Kindle books without Amazon software (for example, on an Android tablet or iPad)? Can I do it legally?

(These may be naive questions. I admit that I am still pretty naive about ebooks.)

Yes, you can in theory read Kindle books on almost any other ebook reader or tablet.

However, this requires you to convert your mobi or azw file to other formats, such as epub. There is software for this, but, as you can imagine, you will be breaking the DRM. It is therefore not legal, at least in the United States and presumably other countries where the Kindle is sold. Not a great option!

If you dislike Amazon devices and software, a better option is to buy books in the epub format. These are not sold by Amazon, but you can find them in online stores such as Barnes & Noble. The epub format give you legal access to a far greater range of devices.
