Google's products are at least free of the dark patterns which pervade other sites. I can't believe how unpleasant the experience of booking travel online is -- it's so hard to get a clear picture of price anywhere with all the hidden fees. Google Flights/Hotels are somewhat nicer than other experiences, but you then lose out on the combo discounts that OTAs offer. With it being such an expensive market to enter I'm not convinced we'll see much changing soon.
