I doubt it's news to you, but Android openly allows app stores other than Google's.

It's does, but between Google's certification process putting restrictions on device manufacturers and the fact that usually those alternative app stores can't be installed from Google Play, asking side the untrusted sources scare tactic against users, and Google Play protect so closely integrated in the OS now, theyre not really viable market places.

At best I guess we could say Google has a carrot approach where Apple prefers the stick.
