I think a lot of people here are missing the point that in a court legal != pro-consumer. The US has monopoly laws that Apple (annoyingly) follows but Google does not.
That certainly weighs into it, but take a look at the agreements that Google has handset manufacturers agree to. They’re quite a lot like 90’s Microsoft.

Apple follows the monopoly laws but Google doesn’t? Which one allows you to install alternative app stores again?
Apple makes its own app store for its own OS to be used on its own devices. It doesn’t make anyone else bundle its services on third party devices.
It is more that iOS isn’t the market leader. If iOS had Android’s marketshare, Apple would have lost its case.
