It's half true, there are plenty of android auto apps on the store. The majority of them are music playing apps. Navigation apps are not allowed by google. I have 2 cars with android auto and android auto is useless for me because i cannot mirror the phone screen.
Wait what? Only Google Maps is allowed? That is absurd.

this is just pretending and games. it's a novel around something in the periphery, when the center is very stable and established
What does your comment mean, in less poetic form?
Quick summary: the biggest electricity provider in the country (ENEL) made an app (Juicepass) to find and manage their charging stations across the country. The Android Auto functionality of the app has been rejected by Google for non disclosed "security concerns while driving". The antitrust ruled out it was because Google wanted to sabotage competitor apps to the charging stations finder built-in in the Google Maps…
And a quick reminder to everybody else that walled gardens don't actually help the consumer. They only arbitrarily restrict choice, they don't actually improve security (if any, that's provided by the sandboxing, not by the store "review"). If this company (ENEL) wasn't a huge state-wide electric company (inheriting their power and ties from the previous state-owned monopoly) how many chances do you think they had to…
The real problem isn't the wall, it's the gate. Adwords, Android, FB, Twitter, Spotify, Steam... those are all about controlling the gate. At that point, others do the work and the gatekeeper makes the profit.
What a steaming pile of digested waste material. Have they ever thought about fixing their app? There are plenty of Android Auto apps on the store.

They removed that restriction last April[1], now devs can publish nav, parking, charger apps etc. Sygic[2] as an example.

Walled gardens are just security theater. The App Store revenue was $72bn in 2020, yet the review time for an app is a few hours. App reviewers barely have any qualifications, they're just "call center operators" running off a script.

It is a lot more than "theatre". The first line of defence is the sandboxing built into the OS. The second line is a lot of automated analysis of the binaries that are uploaded. The human review is the third line, but that is much less about security.
Drivers licenses aren't only about competence. Sure, there's a test. But, there's also the ability to revoke a license.
