Even if they did.... Google would just change the rules. It's their "toys" they can do what they want, when they want.
Just a lot of folks here still stuck in either denial, anger or bargaining....

Actually what saves Google is that they learned from the whole Microsoft monopoly thing. They allow any other services to be pre-loaded on Android devices as long as theirs are as well. So any OEM can also use Microsoft services fro example on their devices. Samsung did just that with their new phones: they have Google Play and the whole google services packages, but they also have Microsoft services (OneNote, OneDrive etc).
Because of this policy, no company can say: "our services are not getting visibiity because Google doesn't allow them to be pre-installed on the phone"
