Banks, payment apps, many apps that shows google maps in their ui breaks without play service. Some use it to auto read verification SMS. Countless more..... Google won!

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.
