This continues to emphasize that the only solution to Google is government intervention. If Amazon can't successfully break into the market, nobody can.
There are plenty of online stores and Azure and Google Cloud are doing very well and have excellent growth opportunities.
The fact that Google doesn't allow OEMs to pick and choose what apps are included is the subject of an EU antitrust investigation, and Google has already been prohibited from doing so in Russia. It's also illegal under US law, but Google has an incredibly significant amount of money invested in the right US politicians.
It sounds like you've unfortunately only heard a small part of the story.
Side note: Replying with the same incorrect comment three times is truly unnecessary.
It's a stupid one anyway since everyone knows that the only reason Google has been allowed to operate Search the way it does (limited transparency + oversight) is because we know that it doesn't interfere with search results. If they ever did and deliberately removed competitors governments would simply force Search to be an independent company.
I don't know about the merits here but I can understand why Amazon would rather leave it up to governments.

Why do your monopolistic complaints always have to do with Google? Where are your monopolistic complaints about Amazon or Microsoft in your post history?
When the people get tired of apps and crappy software we will see a new re-packaged ideas executed better. But yeah it is incredibly hard to compete with good enough products.
Actually, that bears an interesting question: If Amazon actually were to release such a phone, unless Google makes them a special exception in the standard MADA, Amazon would have to agree to either switch Kindle Fires away from Android or start putting Google Play (including very direct competitor apps like Google Play Books) on Kindle.
Google forbids any developer who has access to the Play Store from selling any so-called "incompatible forks" of Android.
