Google play services and Google play store are both a nasty spyware package that has root level access to your system. This is how Google is able to get all the data it wants off your massarket device.
I am not sure what google freamework services does tbh though
If you can go without it that's what you should be doing if you give any fucks about privacy. The issue is as the comment mentioned is your apps. That's a personal decision. This is a long journey but you are asking the right questions.
