Just another example of how judicial systems are run by ignorant dinosaurs who don't understand how anything works (e.g. series of tubes). You'd expect a judge presiding over this type of case to make a ruling after seeking advice from domain experts; on what was in the realm of possibility.

If Google were motivated to do this voluntarily, I'd expect it to be a 6-12 month project, at the very least.

I still don't see how there's a possible argument for making them actually distribute app stores, either.

Removing some of the (accurate) information that you need to trust an App Store to allow it to install and update apps, whatever. Limiting their ability to abuse their market dominance to control the behavior/hardware of phones that ship with them, great. But actually making them distribute content is wild.
