If you still write software for Android, one of the top priority in your architecture design should be full avoidance of using Google Play Services. This way you will make it possible for your app to appear in non-Google Android systems like Murena.
This will become very important soon. People should, and hopefully will, start to prioritise non-Google Android devices. The health of the app ecosystem on those devices will dictate the speed of transition.
App devs have the power to help.

There are good alternartives for most libraries. Some more tricky than others to replace. Some still need replacements. Demand will drive these libraries to to evolve. The free-Android industry is working on brining the missing ones online. There will be a choice.
