The strategy here for Microsoft is pretty obvious. Windows is becoming a tablet OS first and foremost. However it is at best a 3rd target for app developers, once they have finished their iOS and Android versions.

Natively supporting an Android app store allows them to get apps so users will want to buy the hardware, which in turn generates market share that gets developers interested.

Even in Windows 10, on hybrid laptops it is already a better experience than most Android tablets.

Around here when people aren't carrying an iPad, they are most certainly carrying either a Surface or a foldable Windows laptop.
