But that doesn't speak towards the Apple side, which locks their app store and hardware as well.

Apple has stranglehold over their devices.

Google has a stranglehold over theirs, and everyone else's who isn't either Google or built to serve a sanctioned (by the U.S.) foreign market like China or Russia.

Except samsung ships with their own store on all galaxy devices, even if play is there too. So it doesn't fit with a stranglehold.

If google withdrew android to only Google hardware, does that suddenly make them not infringing anymore? Leaving all other phone devs to make their own OS...
