> Except Google didn't provide interoperability, you can't run Java applications on Android.

You don't get to pick your own narrow definition of "interoperability" and claim that it's the only one that applies. Requiring 100% compatibility with compiled code quite obviously makes it trivial for the creator of the original work to completely subvert that right to reverse engineer. European courts would almost certainly choose to interpret that right in a way that allows it to have real power.
