To be honest, I doubt that you can simply halt or deactivate the Play Services in a normal Android

To a certain degree you can, but of course it’s not a simple flip of a switch in the settings.

The only solution I know of to get rid of that is by installing an alternate OS like /e/ or LineageOS once it is available (officially).

It’s certainly more conceptually clean, I’m using /e/ myself now.
