Microsoft ported a big part of Android to Windows, Android apps use those components to run. So, It's better described as Android apps running on Windows, not as Windows apps.
As a consequence, Google might consider Windows Phone a non-compatible version of Android and force OEMs to stop manufacturing Windows devices.
Google:
"Compatibility is at the heart of the Android ecosystem and ensures a consistent experience for developers, manufacturers and consumers.
Non-compatible versions of Android, like Aliyun, weaken the ecosystem. All members of the Open Handset Alliance have committed to building one Android platform and to not ship non-compatible Android devices.
This does not however, keep OHA members from participating in competing ecosystems."
