Google made back room deals with other development firms to help suppress the use of other app stores.

That's the issue here. The collusion aspect.

It's very different than Apple.

    * Allegedly.

    What exactly is evidence that Google has suppressed other stores, and in what manner ? If you consider say, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo etc - all have their own stores in parallel to the Play Store. And on all/other phones, you're free sideload any third-party app store.

    Taking my Samsung phone as an example, I don't see the Play Store being promoted any more prominently than the Galaxy Store, nor do I see any blockers for using the Galaxy Store. I believe this is the same for other OEMs as well who bundle their own stores.

    So tell me, where exactly is the suppression here?
