> Google apparently not allowing Windows Phone to use YouTube APIs, although everyone else seems to have access.
What? Everyone who? Nobody has access to Google's Youtube API's. Android has a Youtube app because Google made it, and it's the same with iOS. WP will only have a Youtube app if Google makes it, and they won't, and nobody can force them to write for all platforms.
Giving Microsoft access to them would mean giving them preferential treatment over anyone else. Obviously Google is not going to do that.
> Google cutting EAS support.
Microsoft has used those patents to threaten other Android manufacturers before or make them pay for them. Google wants everyone using Android to move away from EAS, and it makes perfect sense from their point of view, to cut costs for themselves and Android manufacturers, and to be less dependent on Microsoft's proprietary technologies.
I'm not saying Google didn't do the Maps thing on purpose. Maybe they did. I'm just picking on these because you seem to think that somehow it's not Google's right to do all that.
