I think you're right for the Play Store or Google Play Services but I can disable the "Google" app and things run just fine, and I can install more apps.
You're not wrong that ROMs that don't include the core services have issues, but Google Search is definitely not required.
(As an exception some phones won't allow you to disable certain Google services, but as a general rule you can.)
