Comment on Google seeks to undo Epic Games antitrust win over app store

The problem is that phone manufactures do not have the alternative stores installed (besides Samsung). Its entirely in the hands of phone manufacturers and they should be sued over, not Google.

Google has agreements with the manufacturers that prevent or heavily disincentivize the manufacturers from doing that, otherwise they essentially can’t use Android.

In that case, its all Google I agree.

I know it’s insidious. This shit sandwich has so many layers by design that it’s easy to misinform even courts, much less people with limited time or willingness to talk about these things.

From now on whenever I talk about Android with Google Play Services I’ll refer to it as the “shit sandwich OS”
