YouTube was a big one for this. The Windows phone app worked better than its Android and iPhone counterparts and Google blocked API access.

Microsoft's YouTube app didn't show ads, and that was Google's gripe with them.

Too many users, too established of a brand. It's easier to kill off newcomers
