It’s worse then that there is so much bloatware on a pixel, I’m surprised there isn’t more complaining. You can “remove” it with ADB but it doesn’t actually remove it.
I’ll be honest, personally I think the nail in the coffin was the Spotify-deal. If Google had been able to prove that it either has no special deals or only with tiny publishers (so it feels more like helping the underdog) then I don’t think they could have claimed that Google is treating anybody unfairly.
Why would this graph matter at all? Wasn’t the case in the US where Android has a smaller market then Apple. I don’t see why an American judge would take international numbers into consideration.
Same as people saying Apple doesn’t have monopoly. They sure as hell do in America and that would be all that matters. Otherwise why was any monopoly broke up since none have ever had a international monopoly.
