The app devs bypassed that thing too without getting noticed. So it's entirely Google's fault here in both cases where their system (if there was a human involved, they still didn't get caught) failed to detect and identify the clones.

They mostly clone apps which are popular. If an app is already popular, it definitely doesn't belong to "Early access" category. These duplicate apps are shared through social media channel (or other mediums) with a direct link because Google usually doesn't surface such apps in Search results. In case of duplicate Chrome and WhatsApp, both were actually served in search results as "Advertisements". So this was/is some loophole that they are exploiting to achieve such a large number of downloads. Early access apps also don't have user reviews in app listings.

On Pixel Studio's latest update marks the end of the Pixel-exclusive app ·
People have stickers saved and Google doesn't want to make it disappear instantly without informing users first and provide some backup plans for the stickers. It will definitely disappear from the app drawer, but not anytime soon.

Hey, appreciate the efforts you put to share the information about chrome features. As far as the source of the information is concerned in this article, it was tipped by Gagan who tagged me on the post on X in a reply to another user (mentioned here in article). I wasn't aware that you shared this already.

On We went hands-on with Google Translate's Duolingo rival ahead of its launch (APK teardown) ·
This will be free (at least when it's in beta). The wording a little bit vague, so we are just assuming that Google might start charging for this (bcz it's AI based feature).
