Skimming the PDF there are some juicy claims in there, allegedly the Epic store was almost preloaded on OnePlus phones but Google stepped in and forced OnePlus to shitcan the deal. Likewise LG preemptively refused to bundle the Epic store saying their Google contract wouldn't allow it.
Google throws power users a bone by allowing sideloading in Android, but as soon as OEMs make it too easy to bypass the Play Store it seems they change their tune and invoke veto powers to stop it.
