Not in a meaningful way. It's a part of GMS and at best, EU can rule OEMs are allowed to offer AOSP versions of their phones, but then you don't get the good parts. Android is still open source and sideloading is still not 'gone', just behind one more hurdle. Google is pulling an Apple here, technically compliant, but so that nobody bothers sideloading anymore.
