This isn't a fine for Google generally. This fine is for a specific thing Google did wrong: prioritizing their own shopping results in search. The fine was specifically calculated to be greater than whatever revenue Google made from this behavior. To follow your analogy, they robbed a bank for a million dollars and got fined 2 million. Then keyboard warriors shouted that they should have been fined 10 million because of unrelated crimes which are still being litigated.
