    The Play Store makes a bit of money, but it’s peanuts compared to the ads revenue that the rest of Google generates.

    People have forked Android, but those forks have approximately 0% of the userbase.

    As for where Google makes and loses money… Don’t assume that we actually know.

    We do know, it’s ads.

    by your reasoning nothing could ever be done in public policy

    Oh, please. Stop being hyperbolic.
