I hope they won't do that. I believe those approaches do a disservice to Android in general.

For instance, it really annoys me when Android Studio pushes you to add app indexing stuff, which in turn needs Play Services to work. Play Services unnecessarily bloats my APKs, so I go great lengths to avoid it.

I prefer a more agnostic Android Studio (and Android in general) rather than gravitating towards Google sponsored add-ons.
