The EU DMA compliance is where this gets messy. Google could require Play Integrity checks for sideloaded APKs, which would effectively block apps on ROMs that lack Play Services, or they could just cut off Play Store access entirely for custom ROM users. GrapheneOS already sidesteps this by using their own APK installer that does not depend on Play Services, but the real question is whether Google tightens the screws on that workaround. If the DMA enforcement focuses on 'access to apps' rather than 'access to Google Play specifically,' LineageOS users might be the ones left holding the bag.
