This is a consequence of the fragmentation. The only way to implement it to all is through the play services.
I agree, but that doesn’t explain why Google is actively removing components from the AOSP, such as the Dialer and Message applications. Fast Pair support was also recently removed.
This is to have more control by pushing their own apps. This argument is valid for the play services too.
Dialer and message applications were not being used by anyone, including custom ROMs, so Google debloated and removed it.
Fast pair was removed because no other OEM was using it, so Google debloated.

You’re acting like they’re being malicious. They aren’t.
Saying that no one was using the Dialer and Message applications is a straight-up lie. What else do you think are de-google ROMs using? GrapheneOS, for example, is still using it.
Literally every other popular custom ROM was using their own, updated, better fork of the Google dialer and message app.
Not sure why Google would continue to bloat AOSP just for GrapheneOS. That’s ridiculous.
