Google positioned itself so it is the de facto default for pretty much every Android phone.
- jsnell 3y agoI don't really understand your point. Doesn't basically every app store in the world on any platform require an account? It seems like a fairly basic requirement for a functioning system (people need to be able to reinstall the apps they bought on a new device). And if having an app store that doesn't require an account is actually somehow desireable, is your suggestion that Google somehow strong-armed Samsung into requiring an account rather than going with the ostensibly superior option of not requiring accounts? Or is the suggestion that the store should be using some other account than a Samsung account, but they weren't allowed to do that.
- manuelabeledo 3y agoTo use most major standard Android features in a Samsung phone, a Google account is needed, but a Samsung account is accessory. My point here is that it does not matter that a device comes with one, two, or multiple app stores, if the whole start up flow steers users towards a specific one.
