Almost free, you need to pay 20 euros/dollars once, if you are going to publish on the store.

Yes, but this doesn't mean we should put up with it. After this comes into effect in 2027 or so, you won't be able to install an app on your Google-certified phone without Google knowing, just like on iOS. What happened to user control?
