It's the game. Because consumers reject it otherwise.

Why go to bat for anti-consumer behaviors unless you are a shareholder?

Their billions are not my problem; but the money I pay them and service I get in return, is. And if they can't provide, I will shop elsewhere (and do).

You invest billions of dollars in hosting and benefit from hundreds of millions of man hours of human output, just so everyone trains on "your" data?

Science can be expensive. New findings that get released to the public for free sometimes have taken billions of dollars of investment to get.

That might be an indication that the business is not sustainable because there is not any technical or practical differentiator besides scale. Harming your customers to maintain that differentiation isn't sustainable either.
