I don't think that Google has the same requirements as apple, vis a vis, all payments need to go through apple app store, which includes subscriptions or coin purchases.

They both have very similar policies. Why do you think Epic took Fortnite off of the Play store in the first place?

They do, the only difference is that unlike Apple Google just takes the money and gives the users nothing in return.

Actually Google provides reword program (Play Points) but Apple doesn't.

I’ll take 6+ years worth of updates for my devices instead, Google drops support even to their own Pixel line within 2 years.
