It’s not unusual for OS changelogs to be shown before or after an update.
If you can’t see how Google pushing Chrome in Search, Gmail, YouTube, etc isn’t unfair or an abuse of market position, then I’m not sure what to tell you.
That’s them using their dominant position in a market to give them a leg up on competitors in different markets. That’s anti-competitive, and illegal.
Play Store case (and others) - I think this is kind of BS since Android allows third party stores, and I think they only lost because it went to jury; I think their 30% cut is ridiculous, but it’s in-line with similar app stores
I didn’t see any related to advertising Chrome across their services, which indicates to me that it’s more a strong case at all, at least not compared to the other allegations. And I’m not sure how it would be anti-competitive unless they prevented other browsers from advertising or messed with who saw advertisements for other browsers.
Maybe the EU has more relevant laws (e.g. they have a requirement for OS vendors to allow use to choose their own browser), idk, but I don’t see how advertising their own products violates antitrust. I do see a lot of other viable antitrust allegations though.

I haven’t seen a credible argument along those lines. The credible arguments I’ve seen are:
