*Samsung's Android devices accounted for half or more of Google Play revenue*

"In 2020, Google - as part of three deals - agreed to pay Samsung
$8 billion over four years to have Search, Assistant, and the
Play Store be the default services.
Before that, Google proposed and then abandoned a plan that would
prevent Samsung from placing the Galaxy Store on homescreens.
One of Google's arguments in the case is that this was in service
of improving the Android experience to counter Apple and prospective
iPhone switchers."
