Dropping into the conversation late, to say that this is right - but - the danger is that Google controls the defacto browser and defacto web standards as well as search, and yes a large chunk of email, the biggest video hosting service and mobile operating system! So in reality I think the open standards will erode in practical terms to be Google standards over time, unless something is actively done to prevent that.
