That's why I never set up a Google Account. All apps I get from somewhere else - Github, apkmirror... But this limits the use. I'd need a (freeware) app, which is only available in the "playstore". Nowhere else it can be found, so I have to go without 
some interesting functions. IMHO the company is stupid to push people into such a dependence without a real reason. They could block users, whose app isn't up-to-date and offer the apk for download. But no - the users have to share their data with Google 
to proceed. :-(
