whatsapp forces me to, and over here whatsapp is sadly mandatory.
some innocuous apps from aurora are even forcing me to have a logged in play store now. these i can avoid for now.

WhatsApp does not need play services. It may be necessary for cloud backups and stuff....but you can do local backups instead.. Play service is not a hard requirement.
