It's not about the TOS, it's about Apple taking the position that Google's requirement is anticompetitive in the Play Store but that Apple doing the same thing (actually worse, since Google allows third-party stores to be installed) in its own App Store is not.

That can be used against them in an antitrust proceeding...in US courts. I don't know how the EU handles judicial estoppel since AFAIK it's only a feature of the UK-originated common law system.

When has Apple argued that Google's Play Store is anticompetitive?

Apple's more likely to argue "Google's TOS lets us do X, our TOS doesn't" or something along those lines.
