* What people want is to run apps on their phones.
* Most apps now depend on google services because google actively promotes play services over base system services, and doesn't really invest in the later anymore.
* Many people don't want to run google services on their phones (Me included).
* MicroG solves this problem by replacing google services with equivalent services.
* People can now run the apps they want.
This has nothing to do with entitlement or google. This is a way for people to run software on their phones without needlessly going through google.

- goodplay 10y ago> perhaps they should use software that is not dependant on Google Isn't this what MicroG does? If you're referring to the system as a whole, the only real alternative is ios, which is far worse in terms of user control over what the system does. In an ideal world, I would be running some linux distribution on my phone and be finished with it. We don't live in an ideal world.
