Well the focus on text content isn't the only technical difference here. Google is obviously weighing hundreds of signals in its search results that your engine is not accounting for. These omitted signals are also relevant.

The App Store doesn't have a high barrier of entry. The barrier is low and completely based on whatever Apple's product strategy is at the moment. Sometimes also based on arbitrary feelings from Apple execs like Phil Schiller.

There's no such reference to "external websites" in the ruling. I'm not sure why so many people are taking this logical leap. The injunction simply references "directing to purchasing mechanisms". There's

There isn't anything in the ruling that specifically and only protects a payment mechanism through a web page. The ruling protects linking to any alternative payment mechanism. That should include a payment mechanism implemented in-app
