Google accused of search manipulation in third major antitrust lawsuit

As a consumer, I can unequivocally say that I enjoy and prefer aggregation features and some OneBox features, I want the search to return an information-dense page with good summaries of, for example, Wikipedia articles and Oneboxes with the financial status of companies.

I've read part of the complaint, and it is fairly persuasive, but I do feel like most of Google's actions that "reinforce" their monopoly are somewhat morally acceptable. Like Google requiring Android manufactures to use Chrome and its search engine as default or Google paying Apple to make its search engine the default in iOs. Google is spending most likely billions on developing and maintaining Android and thus deserve to impose some financially beneficial requirements. However, Google blanket banning manufacturers from forking Android instead of just prohibiting Android-forks from using "Google Play Services" is clearly anti-competitive and shady.

>[..] But this lawsuit seeks to redesign Search in ways that would deprive Americans of helpful information and hurt businesses’ ability to connect directly with customers. [..]

This is a bit funny given that Google's entire MO is to insert themselves between the business and customer so they can tax every transaction. You searched for "Big Bob's BBQ"? Surely that must mean that Google should get a cut out of the order!

Whatever happened to simply organizing the worlds information?
