This!

It's all nice and I well to have an option with or without this or that.
But people do not care about such things. People do not understand such things. People do not want to be bothered with such things.

People want to use Gmail, Facebook and Whatsit. They want to play Pokemon Go. They want to watch YouTube. If any of those things do not work without Google Services then this initiative is absolutely pointless.

I predict the only realistic outcome: new phones will cost just as much as they always have but then customers will have to pay $40 on top. And curse they EU for that. This time, justifiably.
