Not that ridiculous. Google likely knows better than any one developer how much to charge to maximise revenue, in the same way that Airbnb knows best what homes will rent for. Lots of hosts defer to Airbnb's recommended price. Of course, Google has an incentive to maximise total Play Store revenue, so their incentives don't line up with any individual developer. But I can definitely imagine a world in which almost everyone just allows Google to manage their pricing.
