Where does it say in the ruling that the play store has to host and distribute other stores in the ruling? I didn't notice anything in there about that.

It's...in the first paragraph

Today, Judge James Donato issued his final ruling in Epic v. Google, ordering Google to effectively open up the Google Play app store to competition for three whole years. Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.
