Epic shared the news on their site:
​

“Telefónica, one of the largest telecommunications service providers in the world, and Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, today announced a long term partnership to make Fortnite and the Epic Games Store more accessible on millions of Telefónica Android devices.

As a first step in this partnership, the Epic Games Store will now be pre-installed on all new compatible Android devices on the Telefónica network in Spain, UK, Germany and Spanish-speaking Latam. Players will now be able to more easily download Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe as well as third party games in the future. This is just the beginning, and over the next year the companies plan to expand the partnership and bring more benefits to mobile players across the Telefónica network.”​

As long as it can be uninstalled then it's just annoying, it's when you can't uninstall apps and google etc that it becomes really irritating.

What does that have to do with the mobile store?

Won't be enough to move the needle.

Wut
Of course it’s going to have a clearly visible impact on Fortnite players.

Have they tried to actually improve their PC app?

Not really no.
Also the android app is literally just an installer for Fall Guys, Rocket League and Fortnite.
