Google has to manage a lot of huge companies' software, so while it sucks for the little guy, and Google could definitely be better about it, it's sort of understandable.

What we need are more and smaller independent (paid) app stores. Honestly, I'm shocked there aren't way more. We have the Google Store, Samsung Store, Amazon store and...that's it?

No one else wants a part of this multi-billion dollar industry? No itch.io Android appstore? No Humble? No GreenMan? No STEAM!?

I'm still shocked that steam isn't even present. They probably could manage to add it. Maybe arm versions for windows and Linux too. Maybe some magic to make it work with Linux natives? Just saying
