To put it simply:
- If you run even a single app with integrated Google Play libraries, running sandboxed GSF won't enable any more telemetry capability from Google.
- MicroG's spoofing approach means it will likely brake at some point and nuke your whole setup.
- Running MicroG as a privileged system app increases attack surface.
- Spoofing also means less app compatibility.
- MicroG still runs proprietary Google code.
