    How much money do you think Google loses to 3rd party app stores? Considering they’ve been allowed from the beginning and are also one of the most profitable companies in the world?

      Companies don’t do shit that costs them money for no reason.

      There are only two reasons a for profit company would do something, for profit or because the law is making them.

        Well I think it’s fair to assume that they not only didn’t know for certain that they would be charged/fined but also how long it would take for that to happen. And they rolled the dice.
