> Manufacturers should be able to get only the Google Play store.
Why? Google is a for-profit company that puts time and effort into developing the store. The play store may not actually be self-sustaining in terms of revenue. Perhaps it is paid for by things like Maps and YouTube.
Shouldn't Google be able to specify the terms of use for its closed-source products? It seems sane that those terms might specify a package deal with other products.
By mandating that companies should be able to only get the Play Store, you're asking that Google work for free for others, and that doesn't seem fair.
