wow. cripling?

it is that bad?
i prefer to have all my devices updated to latest version.
i dont know, its like a habit of me.
besides google playstore missing, any other consequences?
Same here, love having my devices and software all up to date where possible. Even if it means resorting to custom ROMs, Builds, etc..
Hmm, consequences would be;
*Google Play Store removed.
*File Explorers, Kodi, etc removed. Also means, (as pointed out) you do lose out on the ability to side-load apps.
*Access to Google's main Android setting is gone.
*Maintenance code changed.
These are the ones I can think of at the moment.
