Doubtful, Google got dinged pretty hard in part because there were too many steps to allow other app stores to exist, and becsuse app stores couldn't auto-update apps like Google Play could.

And all that is way easier than rooting/jailbreaking. I doubt that will be enough of a deterrent considering the anti-trust angle being that you can't compete with apple's native software



No Google got dinged because they claimed their ecosystem was “open” and changed it after the fact.

The reason that Google lost the same type of cases that Apple won was because consumers knew iOS was closed before they bought it.
