google does NOT make the phones... makers can do whatever they want.
Carriers do not need to purchase android phones.. they can get whatever they want.. and preload what ever they want.
Google started their business from internet searches.. and making $$$ from monetizing public searches.
They saw that mobile devices was the way of the future.. and wanted to capitalize on the mobile searches.
They created a free open source OS... use it if you want. DON'T if you don't want.
if you want to use the google package of apps.. that include their Play store... it will come with their search engine.
That was a great business strategy.. and they created a great free OS. use it the way you want. Even change it.
Use your own app store if you want.
OK.. it is a very great strategy.. that put them as the dominant search engine.
well that was the point... make it great.. and they will come.
yes.. this can be seen as a monopoly, but one that was decided by the market (Supply & demand).
you are allowed to load any extra apps as the customer wants.
Carriers can even preload any extra apps they want.. and make it uninstallable.
Google did NOT make it hard or block or reduce other companies' app services on android.
I hope that google does not cave in... somehow find a way to ignore that.. or let Russian Market express it's wants.
