      Don't Amazon and Apple do the same? Do you get other app stores for Apply or Amazon products?

        this is so stupid.. are they trying to fine google enough to make up for lost taxes or because they need money for stimulus checks?

          +1😂

                Funny how I just read comments in another thread how useless Samsung is for having it's own Galaxy Store and then I come to this article about Google's Play Store being a monopoly and not letting other oem's have an app store.
                People are ridiculous.

                        the risk of side loading is minimal? that is because most normal typical users do not side load. just imagine if Google or apple allows it the next moment there be millions of unregulated apps probably infested with mallard or virus available for side loading

                              At least on Android you can download (sideload) apps and games (apk files) from any website and install them.

                                      Im totally understand such antitrust deals and monopoly problem but... Android is Google environment... Its hard to call play store a monopoly if its part of the ecosystem it self... Every user AGREE TO TERMS of google license and how it push its services, including play store that contain not only app but also movies and music. The same with device manufactures, they agree to google terms.

                                      And even if Play Store is WORST store I know, with lack of any basic options and worst user experience with their constant changes, its still part of Android ecosystem... and when we buy new phones we agree to use it as google provide it, and then we can change what we want and from where we get apps.

                                        I don't get it, mostly all chinese phones have their own app stores installed along with playstore like MI, Gionee etc.
