Usually uninstalling at least requires root, and usually doesn't work
Also, living without Play Services/GApps means no normie shit like WhatsApp or goybook, even some less normie stuff like TextSecure requires Play Services, though you might be able to do using the web versions of this stuff, probably much better than using the official apps
There's a FOSS replacement for Play Services, I have no idea how well it works
