IIRC, quasi-monopoly of the Big Two on their app stores was mentioned in the Senate proceedings discussing anti-trust action against Big Tech.

Perhaps Google took that to heart. Or wants to protect the core businesses by sacrificing the less important ones.

Because somehow they are still playing to be the underdog when in the premium smart phone segment they dominate just not in the other ones.
