CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney has said that the reason they aren’t uploading the app on Google Play Store is that the company wants a direct link to its customer and doesn’t want the Store to cut the revenue:

“We’re trying to make our software available to users in as economically efficient a way as possible. That means distributing the software directly to them, taking payment through Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, and other options, and not having a store take 30 percent.”

Tim also implied that he would prefer it if he could distribute the iOS version of the Fortnite game without going through the App Store. He also refrained Steam for the same reason. It seems that the popularity of the game won’t stop and the app will work fine without the store’s involvement.
Let us know how excited you are to play this game on your Android phone!
