microG only provides a tiny subset of the Play services functionality. Only certain apps with work with it, not every app. It doesn't implement most.

I hardly use any apps that are not foss, really I just need slack and whatsapp, and they work well (push notifications etc) so microG works well for me (I don't think these 2 apps would work fully without microG but never tested that). Banking apps I don't use, and they probably wouldn't work, but hey, websites are still a thing.
