Well it would cut into revenue from the PlayStore. I suppose it's plausible that keeping people in the browser is a good enough trade-off for Google.

I can’t imagine that the Google Play Store is a huge revenue generator, relatively speaking of course.

That’s much higher than I’d have expected. I wonder how much of it comes from games and their in app purchases, a segment that is unlikely to take much of a hit from moving other apps to the web.
