Smartphone app stores are a duopoly, so I don't think Google should have total freedom to decide what they allow and what they don't.

- nybble41 7y agoThere are at least three, actually, since Amazon also runs their own store which can be installed on any Android device. Samsung has another one specifically for Samsung devices, and there's also F-Droid though that might not count as a "store" since it doesn't handle payments. Anyone else can start their own the same way. Only the Apple devices are restricted to apps from their vendor-specific app store.
