Where do the battery gains come from?
I'm guessing it's a combination of general optimizations, Google Play services & store not having the same level of background and network capabilities, and more control over background apps in general.
OK. I have no google services running but do not get amazing battery. Its probably because I have a couple of messaging apps awake in the background though. I tried self-hosting push notifications but didn't get it working reliably.
This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.
Cool, what's your setup for push notifications? I do too but reached a stumbling block with push notifications, gave up and have been doing without them since. Not great for my phone's battery life probably...
I would guess google play services
So google play services on android along with Google store are installed in the root system the can basicly do whatever the want permission wise play services is always running in the background and is a huge battery drain by not having it installed at all you are gaining more battery life.
