Google's ads business dwarfs everything else, so as long as ads can be integrated into apps deployed through Google Play Services, they're happy.
Third party app stores mostly provide unprofitable utility apps Google aren't interested in stopping. And thank goodness for that, because it allows any Android phone to be used as a relatively open computing device without having to register with Play Services.
