Saying Google == email is a bit naive. Google is search, and the internet starts with search. They definitely have a monopoly on search and it's what's essentially powering almost all of Google revenue right now.

Their revenue comes from ads, which happen to be on their search, which is used because it is the best, not because people are forced to use it.

  Ad revenue is powered by the content that draws eyeballs to the ads. Ads are worthless on their own.
