There's Bing, etc. I could see issues where Google is unfairly prioritising their own properties, but if they're merely going after user experience (including downranking ads which hurts their bottom-line), I'm not sure where the antitrust argument is?
They can always offer it as an option that the user must explicitly opt-in, that way nothing is forced onto the users (yet everyone will enable it pretty quickly if the results end up better).

Might fall within refusal-to-deal (which is fairly nebulous concept), especially given they are also in the advertisement business. Anything that could be interpreted as blocking search results with competing ads to their own might come under scrutiny.
