Only apps that don’t work are the ones from these e-scooter rentals like Felyx (they require Google Play Services for some reason). But in my town its better to cycle anyway ;)
I have eOS installed on my old Moto G7 Plus. It’s possibly the most private android distro out there, more so than LineageOS for example. Even if someone doesn’t have an old device to install it on, they can buy such a phone for $50, second hand.

Of anyone wants to try the “App Lounge” it is available here: https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/app_lounge#download-app-lounge-apks
And if you would like to take /e/OS for a test drive, perhaps you have a compatible device. Check the list here: https://doc.e.foundation/devices
I don’t use that OS, but I tried it before I the interface is very nice. If I could, I would use it on my device just for the UX/UI.
But, as mentioned in many threads, check out all the FP4 reviews before you consider buying.
I use /e/OS. Great experience.

The Play Services might just be for push notifications or support across older hardware. Or it is just for location services.

I am interested in why you consider e/OS/ more private than LineageOS?
