I wonder where the misdirection is, and what lies it’s hiding.

Google would not agree to anything unless it was better for them than whatever they’d get stuck with by losing, so the fact that the agreement superficially appears to be even better than the terms that were set to be forced on them means that they’re lying.

I can’t see yet what they have up their sleeve - how they’re planning to continue enshittifying Android and the app store, but it’s guaranteed that that is their intent, and that this agreement furthers it.
