AT&T you had no choice on your carrier or what you could even plug into the phone line. There are multiple app stores for android devices and you don’t even need an App Store to install an app on an Android device.

Using at&t is a very bad example to use against google because under at&t consumers had 0 choice. AT&T used this monopoly to raise prices and limit choice. Google doesn’t even charge for android.

There are, and google is preventing vendors from installing them.

Are Android users even customers of Google? Aren't customers the people who... buy stuff from a company?

AFAIK antitrust legislation is mainly about protecting consumer (ie. end users) welfare, not necessarily the customer (which can include businesses).
