IANAL, but it's my understanding that courts like to stick to what they know. Apple's arguments about iOS security are rooted in abstruse technical concepts that a judge probably prefers to avoid ruling on directly, while Google's backroom wheeling and dealing is the kind of conventional skulduggery that is immediately recognized as an offense.



I don’t think it’s because Apple conned them over.

Google said you could start your own App Store and then secretly undermined people who tried to start their own App Store.

That’s what they got in trouble for. There is no evidence of Apple making backroom deals to prevent people from doing things Apple said they could.
