The question is how much money did they make by using Android to block rivals. If using Android helped them make 1bn extra then this fine costs them 3bn and it doesn't make sense from them to keep doing it. If they made 100bn than obviously they will continue.

pretty much. these fines are just cost of doing business. I'm sure they made MUCH more than the fine by doing what they did.
