It's a very confusing way for the NYT to phrase it.
Bundling has two senses, one "physical" (Android OS and Google apps are part of the same disk image) and one business (like bundled pricing).
We're talking about economic tying[1], and they suddenly switched the physical definition of bundling. The reader would be justified in expecting them to use the word bundling in its business sense.
