Google provides free Android software to mobile phone and tablet manufacturers. In return, they require that their applications be preinstalled from their production. Otherwise, they would not have access to the Google Play app store, which has more than one million programs in its offering.

See Google has been fined 4.34 billion euros! we certainly do not have to use pink glasses and think that Google is not going hard for its plans and benefits. It is also unfair to call the European Commission's work dilettante for the good of evil. Maybe the truth is still somewhere in the middle. Maybe the backstory has started and has started to find a way to reduce the fine or for its complete abolition. But even if Google has not paid anything, it will certainly pay more attention to its monopoly behavior in the future and better accept the rules of the game.
