The plans to make a stub implementation have been shelved for the time being since it wouldn't provide broad compatibility and the choice would result in confusion. It's best for us to push for apps to function with no Play services and we expect Windows 11 Android app support is going to help a lot with this. If apps work with a stub implementation, then they're perfectly capable of working without it available and can easily fix the portability of their code. It may be something we decide to work on in the future, but we need to see what happens in the next few years and we now have a great way of handling it in the meantime.
