Why does Satispay not work without play services? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I was looking on https://plexus.techlore.tech for my most used apps to understand what I'd miss if I degoogled my smartphone, and surprising Satispay seems to be completely unusable without play services or microG. It is very counter intuitive for me, as it has nothing to do with google. Any idea?

Google Play Services provides a ton of APIs which some programmers may refer to, while developing their apps. These APIs are not part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). So if an app uses any of these APIs, depending on what/how it's being used, an app may have partial functionality, or may not even work at at all, on a de-Googled/pure AOSP ROM.
