It's just as likely to push people away from Google services.

The majority of people using iOS are not financially invested in the google ecosystem - they're more likely to be using the free services like search, email, maps, etc.

If a google service doesn't work well on the $700 phone you've just bought that runs 5 years worth of purchased apps, are you really going to abandon all of that because of a free service?

No, you're going to find a service that works better on the device. There are very few if any things where google is the only provider or even the only good provider of a service.
