Most of them do not. The use of any of Google Play Services features must be stripped out, in most cases hamstringing or losing functionality. Not to mention that they all then must be uploaded via Amazon's own store, kept up to date, and let's really hope that your interactions don't include upswiping.

And most of them do because they've been modified to work without Google services. As for keeping those Amazon versions up to date - that's not Google's problem. It's the developer's / Amazon's problem.
