Epic v. Google: everything we learned in Fortnite court

“This was like a survey of users,” says Gentzkow, as Google presents a slide suggesting that 65 percent of Samsung Galaxy phone users have tried the Samsung Galaxy Store.
I wonder if Epic will challenge the source of that data and what it tells us. Yes, the Galaxy Store is right on the homescreen, so I suspect some users interacted with the icon, but a single user survey is not great data, and I wonder if the survey asked what they actually did with the store — and why.
(I recently bought a Samsung phone, and the first time I was pushed to interact with the Galaxy Store was when it sent a notification asking if I wanted to update a preinstalled Samsung app. I said yes.)
I feel better about Gentzkow’s arguments that Samsung and Amazon didn’t really produce compelling, consistent experiences and that Google had a substantial first-mover advantage with Play.
