The main thing I specifically value about Google being whole is that there is a part of the business that is a firehouse of money, and some sizable % of this money is used in a Patronage system, supporting not the arts but open source technology & standards. This world would be much poorer a place without this open source work & protocols. I struggle to think of how else we would have got this, what action we would have taken to keep this outcom, while not "waiting too long".
