Skeptical of what exactly? Well, from my corner of the IT world I see Google routinely do these things: - Google's involvement in web "standards" [1] - Google sabotaging Mozilla [2] To quote from [2]: --- start quote --- At the individual level, their engineers cared about most of the same things we did... But Google as a whole is very different than individual googlers. ... The question is not whether individual sidewalk labs people have pure motives. I know some of them... They’re great people. But focus on the behaviour of the organism as a whole. At the macro level, google/alphabet is very intentional. --- end quote --- Google today is what Microsoft of yesteryear couldn't imagine in it's top management's wettest dreams.
