Android the project is open source and lacks those apps, but Android the consumer branded product without those apps is not very appealing to customers.

I doubt that. Play store and maps are important. Having a specific browser and search, on top of hangouts, google+, slides, photos... not so important.

Maps are important, but you can use one of the many different map providers.

It is perfectly fine with Firefox, K9 Mail... Or Samsung Browser and Mail apps.

The Play Store is the one and only problem as the replacements are nowhere near close in functionality or popularity.
