Thank you for kind of psychoanalizing that.
The motivation behind attacking tech giants (at least in my case when I bash Google or whatever), is mostly to show others how ethic I am and consequently to feel good about my worldview. This is, virtue signaling in purest form.
Meanwhile, I'll stop my signalling hamster for a moment to say that Google has maybe been the single biggest net positive to the society among all corporations ever, mainly because of the ease of access to information that Search provides, that propelled Internet to became ubiquitous and grease many wheels of information storage and transfer that were mostly manual and hard to scale (this is, to broadcast to many people at once).
This new paradigm has his problems, disruption of previous model of society being one, but is the best way forward I know.
