Perhaps because with existing emulation you don't (easily) get the play services, with this you will easily be able to pay for microtransations to "win" in your games and google gets their 30% cut of those. Its also easier so more people will use it and pay to win. Perhaps it also gives them more data on their users since they can directly snoop on everything running, connected to or stored on the Windows system, play store services running on an emulator is less useful to google.
The problem is that there's a limited amount of total information available to candidates looking for company reviews, so (in my opinion) it's still wise to consider Glassdoor a useful source, with the caveat that it shouldn't be blindly trusted. It still gives useful signal.
I've heard mixed reports that this used to be the case but is no longer a major thing they do.
I think in the past few years they added some more credibly binding statements on their site about not removing or identifying user reviews. However, I don't know if this is actually the case or not.
Whether it's extortion depends on whether the party asking for compensation has an "existing right" to the action and the compensation.
So it's fine to post a review of a restaurant and accept a voucher to remove it. It's even fine to post an honest review and say "I will remove it if we resolve our dispute by refunding me my meal".
But you can't threaten them with "unless you pay me 100x my damages, I will write horrible things about you", even if they're true, since you don't have an existing right to 100x your damages.
In my book, absolutely, it is extortion. Yelp definitely uses that business model.
I would guess that anyone who goes after them will probably suddenly experience a flood of “totally legitimate” one-star ratings, and those reviews would find their way into the court case as a means of discrediting the prosecution’s efforts.
Source: experienced this sort of tactic firsthand in a similar kind of dispute over reputation.
