I am inclined to agree. 
@darth That's like my windows 11 system, I have something in the background that checks what's being added and it flagged the thing that Microsoft tried to to install to promote Bing and their crappy browser as malware.
@retrosponge @darth "clearly the duck test is the thing that is broken" -microsoft and google, probably
@darth Incidentally I have an old Samsung tablet and when I was resetting it, within a couple of weeks it would die due to Google Play services. So the next time I reset it and did everything the first thing I did was disable all that crap. It's been running fine for over a year now.
@darth I think it might actually be a scam because the "services" should be capitalised 🤔
@darth If only it were that quick on other phone 
@darth is this the Huawei Mate 20 Pro or a newer phone? Did you successfully manage to install Google Play on it?
@darth alright time to potentially replace those with microG for apps that still require those services 
@darth iOS isn't much different 🤣
