Borel structurability on the 2-shift of a countable group

We show that for any infinite countable group $G$ and for any free Borel action $G \curvearrowright X$ there exists an equivariant class-bijective Borel map from $X$ to the free part $\mathrm{Free}(2^G)$ of the $2$-shift $G \curvearrowright 2^G$. This implies that any Borel structurability which holds for the equivalence relation generated by $G \curvearrowright \mathrm{Free}(2^G)$ must hold a fortiori for all equivalence relations coming from free Borel actions of $G$. A related consequence is that the Borel chromatic number of $\mathrm{Free}(2^G)$ is the maximum among Borel chromatic numbers of free actions of $G$. This answers a question of Marks. Our construction is flexible and, using an appropriate notion of genericity, we are able to show that in fact the generic $G$-equivariant map to $2^G$ lands in the free part. As a corollary we obtain that for every $ε> 0$, every free pmp action of $G$ has a free factor which admits a $2$-piece generating partition with Shannon entropy less than $ε$. This generalizes a result of Danilenko and Park.
