Googl has always not been friendly of cryptocurrencies in general, latest update is this: Google has placed a ban on mining apps hosted on google play store https://news.bitcoin.com/google-bans-cryptocurrency-mining-apps-from-play-store/?utm_source=Google%20Bans%20Cryptocurrency%20Mining&utm_medium=telegram&utm_campaign=Telegram%20Channel
1 thing I don't understand is how profitable are those android mining apps,  it's even difficult to make profit while using PC  💻  not to talk of android phones 📱.
Those companies that are launching these android mining apps are just deceiving their users

I fully agree that such applications do not bring profit and very often are deceptive. I think Google was guided by the fact that recently there became more common cases of cryptojacking. A big problem is the situation where developers hide crypto software, often malicious, in other applications without notifying users. Google decided to fight this problem by ban.
