Is there any way to set up this phone? (A kantan Keitai 11)

General question

Hey there, I recently got this Keitai Kantan 11. Unfortunately I didn't do much research before getting this phone because I cannot find anything on the internet except only seller websites and I'm a person that makes not-so-great decisions sometimes. I was thinking of getting Samsung Folder 2 but because the Kantan Keitai has android 10 and was released in 2022, I was pressured into buying it instead as "why would you get an old phone?" and "most apps don't support android 5". It works just fine but I've immediately ran into a few problems. I know this phone doesn't support/have google services. I've heard many other keitai phones don't have google services too so I thought there will be no problem for me, as others seemed to use their phones just fine. I can install SM apps like instagram and WhatsApp, but I can't get anything else to work, because other apps crash immediately after opening because there are no google services (which I find ridiculous because in my opinion no phone SHOULD require google services just to run a small app.) I tried Installing google services myself, but I'm no tech-person and nothing worked. Is there any way I could setup my phone somehow? I watched multiple tutorials but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I made a poor choice buying this keitai. Any advice would help alot🙏.
