Yes, for a different reason. Epics wanted a deal with oneplus for to have epic store preinstalled on their device, and google pressured oneplus to cancel the deal.

Although brought up in the lawsuit it is not a basis for any of the counts in the lawsuit. The counts in the lawsuit all go to the same conduct they are accusing Apple of.

Didn’t Epic initially go around the Play Store and require you to download an installer from their website? And then it turned out that it was a good malware vector? That’s what I fear will happen if we get alternate stores: lax security leading to malware.

Yes, it had a bug that could lead to a different malicious application being able to install its own APKs: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112630336

Make it that you must sign the binaries. Google distribute/manage the keys, but are not allowed to veto legal things.

That serves no purpose. If Google can’t veto any signature requests, it’s no different than having no signature at all; You’ll just have signed malware.

They must have a valid reason, not "they don't use our payment processing"
