The US is an absolutely huge win - get the valuable customers and leave the rest for Android. For comparison the 2021 advertising spend in the US was greater than that of the next 10 countries combined.

  Nope, a country so rich that it spends money trying to influence how money is spent. I’ll take advertisement over monopolies any day.

That’s 6 countries, 365 million people. The USA has 332 million. Even taking ‘Europe’ mean ‘the EU’, the ten largest (by population) countries together have about 360 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_European_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_European_U...)

Population-wise, California is about the size of Poland and Texas is similar to Romania. No state is comparable to Germany (83M), France (65M) or Italy (60M).
