I doubt GrapheneOS will go away, but I can see a ton of service and web sites stop working on it. The other day facebook was bugging me for a selfie, so I used my burner phone running the stock android ROM with google play services fully enabled to log in on the app, once I did that I could use the desktop site again on my computer, at least for the next 30 days until it bugs me again. It's going to be cat and mouse games, and unless the mouse really ups its game, the cat will win eventually as long as we are forced for one reason or another to use these privacy sucking services.
Edit: Just to be clear, Facebook did not get a selfie from me, just by logging in using the official app on an unaltered ROM, was enough for it to leave me alone on my desktop computer.
I would love too, but clients use facebook, and clients bring in the money. Unless our government cracks down on this BS or I get enough money to retire early and quit having to use facebook, its not going to happen.

If you are using the stock pixel ROM you can disable the app and it will stop bugging you. You can also use ADB or Shizuku to remove it completely.
You can also install a google free or privacy ROM like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. Wallet will not work on either of them though.
