They are following what Apple is doing because its whats legal. Apple made their system closed and Google made theirs open. Both got sued multiple times in court and Apple kept winning because they were closed and Google kept losing because they were open. It doesnt take much to see what to do next. They will just copy the Apple model in Europe because its the the one most approved by world courts and governments.
There's a thing called precedent.
Also, Apple has been.contested in Europe precisely because it's closed. They've been forced to open up their app store more... which makes Google's stance all the more strange.
