I get RH might be paying money to cleanup play store reviews, but how much is enough to justify the negative PR ?
There is another angle though - may be RH or some higher power is threatening to sue Google if they didn't help cleanup based on their own terms, which might have clause of active sabotage - I am sure they claim this is one such event.
That's not how these things work. Google is interested in the status quo. So much turmoil around digital platforms angering the owner class is bad for their business, more tech regulation etc. They don't want any drama, just fun and consumption.
RH didn't pay anything. Google knows what to do. The interests are way deeper than some pocket change moving around...
