Does this mean that the sideloading block won't affect me if I'm using vanilla AOSP or microG? I haven't been using GApps for over 2 years now, and whenever I get a new phone I remove GP services first. I use microG though.Android is Open-Source, GP Services is not which is why it isn't included in ROMs, unless the dev likes playing with fire.
Google play services is literally is a trojan horse virus. It spies on you 24x7, allows google (and probably other people, as we can't know for sure what vulnerabilities it might have) backdoors into your device, drains battery like crazy and slows down the device to a crawl by eating up all system resources. And it does all of this while pretending to be a useful app, so it exactly matches the definition of trojan.
