This is why I have no play services on my device just open source only.
- The problem is that a lot of the Android and SDK are proprietary. You are depending on proprietary software right now and that's not even including the kernel.
  
  Still better than Stock Android though
- Only reason why I need plays services is for ProtonMail notifications. Proton seriously needs to use UnifiedPush or something.
