I don't think they do it intentionally. They've been testing their "filter system" for far too long now (ever since YouTube got blocked) so lets just say Goolge's "other" services come in cross fire occasionally.
It happens often at my end, and everyone has one time or another, faced this issue. Some face it more often than the others, for example in my case where once i was able to access Play Store from PC just fine, but it wasn't working on my phone.
Anyway, don't sweat about it It'll start to work on its own randomly.
