Microsoft was sued in 1998, the same year that google was founded. So, a startup from 2020 is bound to be the next Google.
DOJ seems to be targeting really where it hurts, their search dominance. Google® has benefited enormously from the positive feedback loop adoption->investment->more adoption, and as the similar cases in EU have shown , it's hard to break. Even if phones in EU allow you to select an engine, i select google. If the DOJ seriously intends to act they will have to come up with a plan that allows competitors (all of which will be inferior in the beginning) to enter the market and evolve.
It will be interesting to watch the stock market reaction to this news. It's probably going to keep going up because it's completely decoupled from reality
