I think you misunderstood what I was saying here. Google's control of both Chrome (client side monopoly) and Search, Gmail, etc. (server side monopoly) together under one entity is what enables Google to define Internet protocols on a broad scale regardless of what a standards body thinks. I agree with you that how Google servers talk amongst themselves has no relevance in Internet standards.
