The DMA doesn't make having exclusive features illegal, this ruling is specifically about exclusive hardware interoperability features that use Apple's control of the OS to advantage their products in related product segments. Google has been hit with a ton of DMA rules for other aspects of the OS and their business model but very few of Android's hardware interoperability features are exclusive to Google devices so I'm not sure what they would even need to do differently. Samsung is worse with that sort of thing but they aren't classified as a gatekeeper so the rules don't apply to them anyway.
