Not true these days. If you want to use location, the app has to use Google Location Services. No matter what the final app is.

No need for Google Location Services unless you want to access Google's location data. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/pac...

You as a developer, yes. But you as a user have no choice if the developer has decided to use Google Location Services.

As a user, you just simply never opt in to using Google Location Services, something that is not even possible on iOS.

This is simply not true. LocationManager API works well still.
