I do appreciate what you're saying here, so thank you. Don't get me wrong, I resist Google with all my might, and have actively organized against Sidewalk Labs in my city, and other projects from them. But I look at Amazon's Bezos and count myself relatively lucky to be living on a timeline where the magic beans that became Google ended up in the hands of someone quite UNLIKE him. Sinking money into moonshots (though sometimes misguided) and a diversity of experiments; that is much better than Bezos' unartful "growth above all else" mentality.
