        Do you? It ships proprietary Google services and encourages closed source solutions. Not only that, but the original developer is convinced that he is the only source of truth.

          It actually doesn’t.

          It is the open source code. You can optionally install Google play in a restrictive sandbox if you wish. You do not have to.

          I cannot disagree with the last sentence. He has his fair share of issues, but it doesn’t take away from his ability or contributions.

          It does not “ship” them. They are available at your option. Other solutions to solve the google problem such as MicroG have/had several security issues. My favourite was when they leaked user passwords.
