What's the point? If you're using Google services, you're a slave to the mothership and they know what you're doing. So why use a different layer of middleware to access them?

I use F-Droid because I don't want to use Google services. I do miss voice dialing, though.

You're mixing up microG with OpenGApps. microG for instance can do Assisted GPS location searches, but allows you to choose your own Location Services provider, Mozilla instead of Google. It's not just a middleware to access the same Google services.
