You can install CyanogenMod with gapps like most people do. Then you get the playstore and other Google goodies, but without vendor modifications. Outside Android, people install "mods" to distinguish themselves from the crowd, but on Android, "mods" establish consistency across devices. Thanks to CyanogenMod, my Kindle Fire is very similar to my Samsung S4 mini.
