Without apps android wouldn't have become a standard. Look what happened to Windows Mobile. So Google owes the developers the current status of Androids.

Android is there because they were quick to move ( first movers advantage).

Windows phone tried plenty to sway developers, so it's that would have worked. It would have been the money incentives Microsoft did, since it was part of it's marketing.

Not because they actually swayed developers.

> 1) How come you get to decide how Google chooses to make money?

Because app developers have no choice but to accept Google's rules if they want anyone using their app. Do you really want to give Google unlimited, unilateral power over a whole business sector here?

Not at all! But I don’t think I should get to decide it for them, except through the regular democratic process and then being dragged to court.

But that's exactly what we're talking about and going towards! No one is saying they're king and I say so so it must be. We're having a discussion so that these thing can move towards court!
