I also have F-Droid and Termux installed, but to say this offers a complete or optimal Android experience is false.

There are many good apps only on Google Play, if you know where to look, usually specifically for the app name or by trawling through a dozen inferior alternatives first.

The chances of the best mist respectful apps being suggested to you instead of the Editor Choice in-app-purchase garbage are zero.

That's if you don't consider having rootkit-like Google play services as a threat vector or don't mind its impact on the Privacy/Battery backup in the first place.
