The issue here is actually fairly straightforward. Google in its present form is illegal, or at minimum is the outcome of a series of illegal anti-competitive actions that for various reasons we decided not to prosecute for an entire generation. Antitrust laws exist for precisely this reason. Because markets don’t function without active competition. The monopoly power Google holds over many of its markets insulates it from market pressure and has removed the pressure of competition. The outcome of this is as predictable as summer. Google doesn’t innovate because it doesn’t have to. That’s not how it makes its money any more.
