simple explantation: machine learning.

the public google translate tool is trained on data from the internet (and google books), and its intended use is for translating stuff that you found online (on the open web)

google play store translation are trained on data from ... tada ... google play store (and probably editorial translations), it's intended use is for translating descriptions on the play store.

using the play store translation logic on other texts will probably lead to inferior results.

not working for google, just my 2 speculative cents
