It’s not part of Android and not even made by Google
The first paragraph refers to it as “Google-backed Indian startup Glance”. It’s not part of Android, but Google is involved
A company investing in a startup does not mean they are “involved” in any way.
An investor in a company will push to make that company gain market share. As we can see here.
The company that is programming the operating system is investing in a company that makes malware for said operating system. How they can’t be considered involved? Once they invested the $140 million, they would be less likely to consider that malware as such. They won’t block that malware with Google play protect, ignore the privacy issues that would lead to a ban on the play store, and so on.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t don’t see Apple investing even a dollar on a company that is making malware for iPhones
