Google made some pretty serious moves in the last year.

That sort of 'cool' is what got us AMP, Chrome and search results mixed with advertising as well as Google products that are promoted at an unfair advantage compared to established products by competitors. Monopolies have their occasional upsides but they also have structural downsides which is why they should be avoided.

From where we are, today, in the real world, this feels like a good change. In my opinion. For what it's worth.
