>General consumers But are they pushing against it? Would they, if asked?

  If the verdict involved something like "your Google account will no longer work with X service" there would definitely be a lot of consumer pushback

    Or if you now have to pay for X what you used to get for free

      Google already does this, bolstered by their monopoly. You used to be able to listen to Youtube videos with the screen off without paying them.

    That's an assumption. Severing the financial tie might not necessarily fully sever the operational relationship. Obviously Google would be pushing that narrative hard, but it would be relatively easy to push back and say, "Separate companies with a non-exclusive relationship would still be lucrative and so the two companies that result from this action aren't going to give that up just to spite consumers/regulators."
