To play devil's advocate: The hypocrisy that was pointed out in the post are post "post compile" events.

If you want to setup Play Services, that's on the onus of the user, same thing with distribution of GPLv3 applications.

The problem is that the utilizing GPLv3 code during compliation (and yes it's technically copying the APK more or less) of the operating system, means that it trips some of GPLv3's linking requirements.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for accessibility, but coming under legal fire is a big no-no for many open source projects.
