Is there really no way to sideload Google services? Or even to use a different rom?

There is, but you end up needing to include the rest of the Google spyware just to enable Play.

LineageOS has no actively maintained builds for Huawei devices (but they used to, fairly recently) and it’s a very limited selection of older devices for /e/OS.

idk much about rooting but if you can do it on the stock OS, you can install microG and get bare minimum features like push notifs working.

also FUCK google for locking essential features behind their pooprietary services. they will not be spared in the revolution.

Huawei has made it impossible to unlock your bootloader, thus flashing other ROMs doesn’t work now.

that’s a real bold move when their phones are already stunted without google play services on the stock OS. i now have zero reasons to recommend huawei. fuck 'em.
