The Android licence is free and the Play Store infrastructure has to support tens of millions of devices.
I'm not saying this is an acceptable level, but Samsung ain't putting a dollar toward Google running the store, in fact, they'd much prefer to run and maintain their own.
That's not true. Phone manufacturers need to pay if they want to include Google Play in their devices, it's not free. It can cost as much as $40 per device.
Thanks for the correction, I was unaware
I guess hoovering up all your data ain’t enough.
I don't even get why having the store on more devices is supposed to "cost" google anything.
It's a store. They get a cut from every transaction. Why wouldn't they want it to be on everything?
