If the choice is between a company that inconveniences its own users for profit -- which I think the antitrust case against Microsoft proves that it was -- and a company that inconveniences other companies' users (e.g. Google inconveniencing Windows Phone users), I far prefer the latter. At least if the inconvenience constitutes not supporting a competitor's protocol.
Microsoft isn't paying Google to please its users, so I don't see how MS can reasonably expect Google to do so. They are competing, for-profit companies. Google isn't responsible for the Windows Phone platform, Microsoft is.
