Motorola had its own reasons for only preloading the Google Play store, though.

Christensen has been asked about the company’s “Pure Android strategy,” where the company tends to put more of a stock Android / Google experience on its phones rather than reinventing the wheel by creating its own apps.

“The primary benefit had been for us to differentiate ourselves compared to the likes of Samsung, for example,” he says.

Later, he was asked if Motorola had any non-contractual reasons to avoid preloading another store. “The most common reason that exists is because of redundancy for consumers,” he says. Obviously Motorola can’t pre-load the iOS App Store, and “most stores available as a third-party store are more limited,” he says.

“So we think it’s in the consumer’s best interests to have one.” Google Play is that one.
