There are multiple entities with their own payment processing mechanisms running on Android. Epic was definitely able to run their own if they wanted to.
That’s exactly what sunk Google’s case though. They’re inconsistent. Had they most likely shown they’re consistent to other apps they could have been more likely to get a jury on their side (like in the case with Apple).
No I think Google tried to tell Epic they couldn’t have their own processing for in-app purchases. That’s what Epic sued over.

Many of them are either exceptions made by Google through shady deals or apps that were overlooked by Google before they published the app.
