You don't need Google account for your phone to work.

    Peoples expectation for "working" is "has absolutely all features that you would have with google, no exceptions". If even a single feature is missing, people will scream thats its unusable.

    The problem starts when a government service or your bank requires an app that needs play services/ uses play integrity API.

    On GrapheneOS in Austria I've yet to encounter this problem, fortunately. I can't use Authy because they're dipshits, but the government apps just show an (annoying) warning every time I use them.

    I also can't pay with my phone anymore because Google is a dipshit as well. Fuck Google. Only thing I need them for these days is YouTube.
