I was under the impression that lineage doesn't come with this anyway and you had to flash whatever google binaries you wanted. This just seems like they've removed one step. See bullet point on Step 1. on the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cheeseburger/install

LineageOS works without the GApps, but you lose lots of (fundamental) things, like network location and GCM (push notifications). Moreover lots of apps require the GApps API to work (often the Maps API) and crash if the GApps are not installed.
