Well, contrary to on iOS, Apple could just distribute the APK themselves. Which, of course, demonstrates why you shouldn't use the tool to begin with.

I wouldn't blame google for blocking this unless Apple allowed them to build a similar app for moving data the opposite direction

You notice Google maps, that failure of an Application, is available on the App Store, along with Google Now, Google Earth and lots of other apps from Google.

The idea that Apple won't let google applications on their store is just google zealot paranoid fantasy.

Hell, Apple's bringing Apple Music to android. It's treating it like a real platform.
