This is so terribly full of corporate bullshit snake-oil.
I would like so much that, one day, the whole tech community would decide to call out loudly each time of abusive PR like that is published. With something like "no one is duped by your shit, we are not stupid enough".
"User Choice Billing" => it is a feature when we don't racket you.
"When users choose Google Play, it’s because they count on us to deliver a safe experience, and that includes in-app payment systems that protect users’ data and financial information." => No, Google says that but users don't. Remember it's a racket they have no choice than using the Google store in most cases to have their device working.
No one let you the choice to install your bank app from anywhere else than the play store.
"We think that users should continue to have the choice to use Play’s billing system when they install an app from Google Play" => this is legendary as a sentence: we decided that you will not have the choice to integrate our billing system. But we said the work 'choice', so like in communist Russia, it looks like that you decided to use us (...without constraint...)
"We also think it’s critical that alternative billing systems meet similarly high safety standards in protecting users’ personal data and sensitive financial information." => Even if the user willingly don't want to do business with Google's racketeering shit, still we decided that we will decide what the user and app developer can do.
Because... fuck you!
