    In the Epic trial, Google made some of the same arguments as those used to defend Steam, like the presence of competing stores or the claim that it wins people over by the quality of the product.

    Google impairs competition without preventing it entirely

    Google’s conduct targets competition as it emerges

    Google is dominant
