Charging per install would have been the death of free to play gaming, or just the death of Unity as a mobile games engine.

That would have been ... perfect. And when did they back up on charging per install?

That would have been a good thing, to not see "free" services, due to anti-competitive reasons.

Companies subsidize "free" by redirecting money from successful areas to fund new or unsuccessful areas. And in this case of "free" (advert, data collections) games, is basically a anticompetitive dumping ground and is a common trend with monopolists.
