Re: Do end users have standing to sue over this?

That may be, but although we knew it was very likely, I don't think we had proof that Google had that level of spyware in their code. It would make sense that they did given their previous attitude toward our privacy, but it's also not a very useful method of violating our rights. If their code does provide them enough information to identify apps to compete with and tactics to use when doing so, it also offers the proof of what we assumed. Given that proof, it's time to use it to attack Google for their privacy problems from all fronts.
