The assumption I was under for the parent comment's scenario was that the device would remain with its default ROM, in which case Google services are installed as a system app and disabling/uninstalling through ADB would do little to change things (cus of the proprietary kernel and all). Moving to alternative FOSS clients helps a new user get used to alternatives and learn better compromises they can use in the future on a degoogled ROM with services they maybe be forced to use.
I see, that's a good point indeed, it can be a good learning step. From a privacy standpoint, however, it's not that effective.
