I run e/OS, I don't have google app store or any of the related service software installed. Yet I am able to use a cleaned up version of android and still have access to the google app store through an anonymous account using the in built app.

Epic won this case against google...

Epic lost the same case against apple, with which none of the above would be possible.

I'm not advocating for google, obviously I avoid them. But that's BS, I hope this is used as precedent to bring a new case against apple.

Seriously this is crazy. Apple somehow winning is way worse as there is simply no way to install third party apps on IOS. Android makes the risks clear but it's still at least possible if you click install anyway.

In terms of being a monopoly, in the US ios has more market share anyway. Google's lawyers must have really made some big mistake.

Both lawsuits are going into round 2, afaik.
