Does google require you to use their service the same way apple does? Or is their service just there for developers that want to use it(at a 10% cost?)

I believe the latter. Android has always allowed app installs not-from-the-market. Some CARRIERS (notably AT&T) have removed that ability for some handsets, but it's not universal and as far as I know, not common.
