It's sad that only Google is getting punished when Amazon owns a major portion of sales. Facebook is increasingly becoming the "home page" of small businesses all over the world. Etsy is now the ONLY place people can sell small hand-made art pieces. Ebay is the only marketplace to sell wholesale items on.
None of these platforms value add much that can't be built into whatever the next web becomes... But no organization is as powerful as a single one of them.
So Google is allowed to do this as long as all these other companies do what they are doing. I think what happened is that all the other disruptions were done to companies that don't know something could be better - they were not technologists, programmers, etc..
This letter is written by technologists, developers, so they know what google has done to steal the market. But no one here wants to apply the same logic to the other ones.
