How could it be? Most Android manufacturers, including Google, allow you to use other app stores.
If anyone has an Unjust Monopoly in this space it's Apple. (Though I think it's unfortunately more complicated than that, as much as I'd love to see Apple forced to let other app stores on.)
Microsoft was considered a monopoly for including internet explorer with windows, despite the fact you could still install a 3rd party browser.
That's not true.
