I haven't researched recently, but the last time I did, I think I discovered that it was primarily responsible for things from the assistant and for things like "now playing". I disabled permissions like you did, but something (or itself) re-enabled them without my approval.
It can be disabled, one has to search for it, since it actually doesn't show up on all apps settings. I'll disable notifications as well, and then disable the app.
I don't understand why LOS ships it on these phones. I've never seen it before on other phones LOS installations...
You didn't install gapps? I assumed it came with gapps on my device, as I use google services. At any rate, it provides for several features that the devs likely decided people want access to.
As I mentioned in another comment, I was able to disable it without trouble.
Using official lineageos+microg here. I had android system intelligence installed and i noticed when it recognized a song while watching tv. I was able to uninstall it via aurora store
No, I don't install gapps. I see, and yes, I can confirm I can disable it, :)
