Samsung & Amazon have had their own fairly successful stores for years. Compete if you feel so strongly

This is nothing like the situation on Apple devices

Amazon doesn't sell devices with Google Play or other google apps loaded on them, they specifically don't have a deal with google, and instead create a flavor of android based on the AOSP, which is increasingly minimalistic on purpose.

Samsung does have a store, but its not like Google didn't try to stop it.

Basically your options are to do everything that google says, or reinvent the wheel trying to push AOSP.
