Because Apple does not break monopoly law. Which isn’t about installing app stores, would be weird if that’s in the law anyways given the age.
Apple sells a device they make, with firmware they create. That firmware allows plugins from a catalogue they curate because it’s all their ecosystem, top to bottom.
Google otoh creates an OS. More like MS or Canonical or so.
I must be seriously misunderstanding the US legal system. OEMs can ship whatever store they want next to Play Store. I have a Samsung phone in my hand with Galaxy Store coming out of the box proving that point.
