Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Are you using microG or Google Services Framework at all?
MicroG might be installed, but I don't use anything that uses it. Since Aurora lets you search for apps that don't require it, I always go for one that doesn't.
Oh. Well then yeah of course it'll all work
The point is that people severely exaggerate how "unusable" a degoogled phone is. There are FOSS alternatives to most things, and anything there isn't an alternative to is probably a shitty service that you'd be better off without (see: burger apps)
Banking apps are pretty important, as is mychart for my doctor. I suppose I could get them through browser or PWA but it's massively easier to just get the app.
I wouldn't call a completely degoogled phone "unusable" but for most people it's going to be mildly to massively inconvenient for little benefit. You can get like 90% of that benefit for 2% of the inconvenience with the sandboxed playstore
My bank app works fine, not sure what they do differently
