gollark: If you *remove* those they can't do anything but also a bunch of apps probably break.
gollark: and/or still have them.
gollark: If you root it and install Google services, yes.
gollark: On the other hand:- As far as I know Google funds/manages most AOSP development- Google is moving more OS features into Google Play services, their proprietary thing- "Google SafetyNet" stops many things running on rooted devices- Google Play Services runs with nigh-root perms on most Android devices- Google imposes a bunch of requirements on anyone who wants to ship Google apps with their devices
gollark: (root it on some devices, anyway, and install custom ROMs)
