Google Apps (cough location and license check services)
Microsoft Office
WhatsApp
Instagram
all the apps your non-IT friends are using daily
Then you can get rid of Google on your phone.
I run a degoogled custom rom and I can still use those apps (except for Google apps maybe but that would defeat the whole point anyway)
Location has a number of alternatives at least. Not sure what you mean by license check services, I'm guessing that's a country specific thing.
I noticed many apps in the PlayStore do license checks - even the free/demo versions. They also stated this in the permission list on the store page. However, most of them even ran offline when I checked last time.
Imagine a world without
