On top of what Aatube says about secret unfair deals, Google's Play Store is necessary to run essential social services. In my case I need it to download my banking app and to sign into my university's online studies.
Even something as simple as the Wikipedia app checks to see if Google Play Services is installed and running before it'll let you use it.
But that won't necessarily change with this ruling right? Your government doesn't need to change how their apps function because of this.
I really hope you'r wrong on that. Anyways, it's a pleasure to see Google bleeding.
