I think this is kind of the point. If Google’s broad portfolio of products are so coupled together that they massively leverage data/technology from their other products to the point where no startup can meaningfully compete with any of their products, they should be broken up.
I’m sure it was really inconvenient and difficult for the once-shared infrastructure of Standard Oil or AT&T to be broken up among different companies, but it was necessary. Google can’t hold the market hostage because it’s “too big to be split”. Changing the status quo is difficult, but that doesn’t mean “too hard, just leave a monopoly, oh well!”
