> Stop sharing money or perks with phonemakers, carriers, and app developers in exchange for Google Play exclusivity or preinstallation

What you're still going to see, is any way they can delay enforcement in the large markets, because the money they're raking in the government will not claw back in penalties. So things like the stays of enforcement are not because they have any chance of winning, but because it's profitable to draw out the case. They have no chance of winning this in front of this Supreme Court or any other one, for that matter.
The comedy here is the changes they're saying would be too hard for them to do in 14 days were ones that Apple has already had to accept... and they had less than 14 days to do them. So if the judges are vaguely aware of the parallel Apple case, they have already seen how this plays out and deny this stay request too. But we'll see.
Tell it to Trump and the US government. They made it clear the US is going to wage war against any country that tries to regulate big tech
A million bucks just doesn't buy off a President like it used to.
Also be denied on a basis of carefully maintaining an image of allegedly hiring the best developers in the world? Who can easily do it in 14 days?
Just charge them a huge daily fine and it will be done fast.
