Google never intended to solve the problem, it was meant to collect and organize information on people, not contents.
The flaw itself is in the standard business model today where businesses are funded upfront by banks in ponzi scheme structures. Enshittification is the natural third stage of these schemes after upfront benefits have been realized.
You burn all bridges going through, make dependent, then become a state run entity (if you are invaluable). Its a common tactic.
The problems people see with google aren't really as they see it at the surface. The issues are the same as the structural problems with central planning in a non-market condition.
There are impossible to solve, intractable problems, and google knows this but the trade-off is in the short-term they get a lot of power and control, and if they are deceptive about it along the way gullible people will be fooled if they don't pay attention until its too late. You see this most clearly demonstrated in their leaked Selfish Ledger.
For those that don't know, its filled with fallacy, and promises that only lead to destructive outcomes and is heavily skewed in marxist thought.
