The real problem is when you can't reasonably choose to do business with someone else and move on, as they are free to do with you.
Something I learned the hard way when I first started out in business is to never make your business dependent on a single entity.
Whether it's a supplier, or a publisher, or a telco, or whatever. They are all single points of failure, and unless you're a huge business, one failure can be all that's needed to take you down, too.
Yes, Google Play is effectively the only way to publish an Android program. But it's also a single point of failure, which is why until there is no longer a mobile program duopoly, I don't invest in app companies.
