Yes, you can completely abandon Google services or directly use one of their clients. For example: instead of Google Play, you can use Aurora Store; instead of YouTube, you can use Newpipe, and so on. Besides, Google does not respect privacy; it makes a living by spying on us and more or less knows what you are thinking.
