It's Google using their typical strategy: spend lots of advertising cash to develop and then provide something for free / less than competitors, with the goal of pulling you into their ecosystem.
Under the Obama administration we didn't see any antitrust/antidumping actions because of how much Google managed to embed themselves into the administration. Don't know if it will change.

In my view, there's really only two things that can reduce cost enough to make a difference: 1. Reducing energy consumption, 2. Reducing drive / component failure. I believe Google may be better at both of those than Amazon.
