This is true, yet the criticism remains facetious. While Google does have a “Google” hub app in Windows 10 that provides quick links to its most popular services, this has been criticised as simply being a web-wrapper app.
Google isn’t snubbing Microsoft’s Store by denying them its vast number of apps, the firm simply doesn’t build traditional desktop clients. The portrayal that Google does not have its desktop apps in the Microsoft Store as a snub is one that is inaccurate. I disagree and contend that Google has actually supported the Store from the start in Windows 10. With the shoe on the other foot, some eagerly pointed that Google was either acknowledging the Microsoft Store or conversely was frightened by it. The app concerned was an installer for Google Chrome - or more accurately, a browser app that directed one to the link to download an installer for Google Chrome.
Google, Microsoft and app stores is a tale that goes all the way back to the days of Windows Phone.The debate was reignited yesterday, with Microsoft pulling a Google app this time from its own store.
