Nothing inherently wrong in companies, profit, or even proprietary software. It is abuse and misuse of their power and capacity that we should raises of voices (and choices against). For example I consciously avoid Google Chrome because I object to how it is bundled with literally every Android phone, bundled with a lot of unrelated software and you cannot browse through any Google web property without being nagged to use/install Chrome from time to time, even after I dismiss those prompts. I see this as incipient abuse of power that could grow a lot worse if we keep turning a blind eye. But not all Google products/effors need to be tarred with a broad brush. Everything depends...
