Google got so many productivity apps and everything links together so well that the ease of use makes me not even care. Gmail, calendar, wallet, now, etc. All synced together to make our daily lives easier. Thank you Google.

The way the Google ecosystem works, I use it for everything. Drive, gmail, calendar, maps. I want that shyt like that. All those targeted ads that I get. I might not need it at the time. Just the fact that they are snooping on my search results, my gmail and then returns ads that can impact me...all that means to me is that they care about me.
Real spit though, this is a non-issue.

If Apple did it you clowns would have a titty attack

Keep drinking the Google kool aid
Apple already does this
You have one choice manufacturer and a locked app store idiot.

You can't really be this stupid. Apple does this already. And you still have choices with Android, you just get the first party options built in. Tell me, what apps do you use to download music outside of iTunes? Or apps outside of the App Store?But but I have choices with Android

You do. These requirements are for Play Store access to OEMs only. You don't have to use them. You can uninstall/disable them. There is no requirement of the consumer's part to use any Google Apps installed on the device.
Is it not free?

Great news. Google should have been putting that hammer down. Hopefully OEMs will realize that spending money making redundant apps that are not as good or updated as much Google is a waste.
