This does add more fuel to the fire about app store monopolies upon platforms.
I forsee the EU eventually fining Google (nice revenue stream with fines recently) and they have to do what Microsoft had to do with the IE Browser and offer the users a choice which lists the alternatives and allow the user to chose and change as they wish.
Which would be nice, and will eventually happen. Though these things will take...time. Though I wonder if Microsoft will have an android app store by then, the poetic irony of history will sing come the possibility of Google having to offer users of Android an option to select which store they wish to use instead of the Google default, with Microsoft as an option. Browser selection parallels are abound here.
