But big businesses have been created so it's not entirely true.

Do you have any good examples where you think innovation has been stifled on the play store? (Apple's app store aside)

all vc-supported , with huge money. not exactly the "indie studie that made it big" type. But more importantly, those are a decade ago (and TikTok reportedly bought its users).

At this point it doesnt seem there is any potential for making a profitable app company, the profit would be to be acquired
