Are you sure it won’t apply? As far as I understand, it’ll apply to all devices with Google services installed. Which includes most ROMs, as well as non-Google ROMs after you manually install gapps. Is my understanding off?
Affected devices
The requirements apply to all “Google-certified Android devices” which includes:
Devices with Google Play Store Devices with Google Mobile Services (GMS) Devices with Play Protect All mainstream Android devices from manufacturers including Samsung, Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus, and Google Pixel
Custom ROMs without Google services & uncertified devices are not affected by these restrictions.
From the link
Soon aurora store may stop working. They could add some crap to the apks in the play store that checks whether the phone has google services. So either the devs put their apks somewhere, or they put their binaries on the play store, which will just be a useless blob for those that dont have play services. Then we get another shitty cat an mouse game about spoofing play services, them catching up, on repeat.

On GrapheneOS Play Services is sanboxed, so it cant affect other installation sources. It’s just one source of many.
