Ubuntu is the Windows of Linux.

It’s getting more and more bloated with unnecessary and unwanted things, because of canonicals bad management decisions. They seemingly care more about “business” rather than users.

This will take effect for only google “certified” phones. If you’re using a custom rom with no gapps (including play services) installed, you will most likely be not affected.

If some of your apps rely on play services, i can heavily recommend microg as replacement for it.
