I know nothing about mobile OS development. How realistic is it at this point for someone to fork Android?

I know that software like Edge and Iron Fox can be forked and worked on by independent people. But Android is developed to integrate tightly with proprietary hardware.

A fork won’t do you any good. This has to do with Play Services, not the OS.

adding to this, android itself as compiled from available sources is actually pretty good and is by itself already unaffected by this change.

play services is basically how they managed to close android in the first place while still making it look open.
