Well, it's been said for years that Google's biggest competition is not MSFT or Yahoo, it's Amazon. Put in that context, I think it makes sense. When I want to find the best price for a product I generally search two places: Amazon and the Google Products search. Doesn't make sense for Amazon to get a cut if Google doesn't.

Seriously. The less competition for ads the less money Google makes. Google has every reason to want a crowded marketplace and not a single 800lb gorilla as its only customer.
