How does PPP relate in this scenario? The price of the goods (in this case Sync) is the same wherever in the world it is available and whatever currency it is offered in, no?
No. Google doesn’t automatically prices the apps in accordance to purchasing power parity. Many devs are not even aware of this. The setting is available for the devs and only some of them change the pricing according to how it should be for that particular region.
I think the point of the person you replied to is that it doesn’t make sense to use PPP for pricing. The dev charges x. They live from the money made paying the app. Just because a user lives somewhere where PPP is lower doesn’t change the developers costs.
