Google also kicked Epic out but no body is talking about that not even Epic. Maybe because Statistically Android users are less likely to pay for apps and services than iOS users. So clearly iOS is where the money is and nothing wrong in Apple trying to protect that.




It's perhaps less important because software can still be installed on Android without Google Play. Don't forget that Apple has already cut special deals with Amazon, so the extortionate 30% is negotiable, if one is big enough to fight.


I think it's closer to: Apple is the important target. If they win that suit, they automatically win against Google.

IMO the fact that both processors kicked them off strengthens their case, because it's a strong argument in favour of oligopoly.
