I just wanted to share that you can disable google play store on stock Android and not lose that much functionality, if for any reason you use an app that require Google play store or you want to make a play store purchase, you can enable it again.

I personally disabled it and I get my apps from Aurora Store, ApkPure and Droidify.

It decreased my phone battery usage by a lot and I am less dependent on google overall.

    Yeah just be aware that this seems to be reversed automatically. I have done this multiple times for google play and other google apps I have no need for (android auto for example), and they always end up being force updated and re-enabled.
