Most of the slurp is in Settings > Google and in Google apps like Photos, and we have to trust Google do what the toggle switches say and nothing else not covered by them (like, eg. find out your location anyway as was revealed not long ago).

There's an alternative for every single Google app, but Play Services is the huge binary blob in the room.
