How do you propose running Google play checks on the phone without working Google play? :)

I don't think it's possible. And indeed, avoiding is possible and better, but the companies choose lie of play store "integrity".

For Play Integrity, you do have to have the Play Services installed, but that doesn’t mean you need to sign into Google :-)

(By the way, microG, an open source Google Play Services reimplementation, can achieve BASIC_INTEGRITY now, too. Which unfortunately doesn’t help much as most applications that do use Play Integrity want DEVICE_INTEGRITY at least.)

Agreed, very unfortunate. Most apps don’t even need it, but the security theatre is easier to do than actual security.
