I suspect that Google is trying to get voluntary compliance for behaviors it can't require. The reason it can't require them might be that there are practices that violate the guidelines in Google's own advertisement activities. I don't know this for a fact, but it might be a reason to be less than demanding toward the Google Play app submitters. For me, this is academic -- I have a number of Android apps at the Google Play store, but they're free and they don't show ads. Which means everybody else hates me. :) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=paul%20lutus&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/search?q=paul%20lutus&hl=en
