I'm not sure if this is ethical and legal problem. But one thing for sure is Google has too much leverage both technically and financially.

Google has slowly increased the reliability on Google for consumers everywhere that they are essentially a monopoly which is bad for the market. It is about time a new player comes into picture with same user interface and different business model which can empower these internet entrepreneurs.

The same could be said for Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, etc. At least Google open sources their operating system, browser and are mostly responsible for Kubernetes. If people are going to have such high expectations of one company why do they not equally apply the judgement.

There is also similar problems with all those companies too, not sure why you think that is some kind of defence of Google.

Because those companies are ignored while everyone jumps aboard the Google hate train, and if anything is going to be done to fix it then those changes need to be applied equally to all companies at the same time. Otherwise it does more harm than good.

People complain about the actions of all those companies quite regularly, Google isn't a victim here.
