As long as the security updates are delivered, I do not have much need for the Google Play Store.
If I buy a new Android device, provide a new email alias, answer no or disable all the anti-features, install F-Droid for the few apps I want, and never use the Google Play Store, would this work?
If the Play Store is unavailable to me because I refused to provide my age, would the native apps update themselves on the regular weekly/monthly basis?
