I just used Google Search for a maps query yesterday and it is somehow so much worse with the services decoupled. The maps button has been severely nerfed.

Google Play Services and Google Play should be denominated to a normal, installable apps.

“Choose your web browser” should include “I’ll install different one myself”, as it also forces using Google Play for updates.

Webview should be installable.

Default messaging app should not have fixed links to Google’s proprietary RCS servers (btw, RCS should be just build in to base Android).

Isn’t that RCS comment a problem because the networks are just lazy shits and didn’t want RCS, so Google just went and covered for them?

Maybe Google done it because of that, not saying it was a bad thing, but there should be a choice.

Also a much personal opinion about the whole RCS thing, because I love to rant about it. A chat protocol that rely on phone operators to work is such obscure and obsolete idea overall in the age of phones with internet connection.
