Sorry, "google blobs"? A lot of work went into MicroG, and I think it's a shame that you'd minimize so much good work to reimplement the lynchpin of Google's control on your devices.

At this point I'll presume you're just misinformed, as no proprietary google code operates within microG unless you decide to run with device attestation, and there it's running as a sandboxed service. At any other time, you are able to run open source code which spoofs your device details to Google, and spoofs google to all these other closed source apps in a reliable and readable, much smaller codebase.

Honestly, the irony of running blobs, when one is completely closed source vs the other which is fully open. Hahaha.
