The monopoly Google holds over its app stores, with "nearly every the power" generates billions annually to Google however, this decision by the Court could alter this, and it could result in Google anticipating costs of up to 600 million dollars.

Google has expressed concern about the possibility that opening it's Play Store to app stores could expose users to security risk, leading to what Google calls "security anxiety. " However, despite these concerns, judge Donato highlighted the need for major changes, saying, "We are going to remove the barriers; this is the next move."
