Google is peerless and your analogy fails to account for the store not being a disinterested 3rd party. The war between AMZN and Google is bad for consumers because of the precedents it sets as well as the actual market effects. A slightly imperfect analogy that i still think captures the situation:

Google owns and operates a highway and allows gas companies to build filling stations adjacent to the highway. Amazon is only allowed to have their stations off of exit ramps



The Amazon store app on my phone indicates something different from what you are telling me.
