I don't understand what you're getting at. The "product search onebox" does not drive traffic to Google, it drives traffic away from it. For instance if I search for "bicycle helmet" the thing at the top of the page is the product search onebox, it contains five prominent links to sites where I can buy a bicycle helmet.
So I don't see what you are getting at. If anything, the product search onebox is the opposite of what the EU seems to be complaining about.

Apparently the merchants provide the information to Google directly in spreadsheets. https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/160637?hl=en https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/160637?hl=en As for your other question about being the #1 result but being ranked below paying advertisers, I'm not sure. Nobody deserves the #1 spot, it's not a natural right granted by your creator. In fact "the #1 search result" varies from query to query and from one user to the next based on their own Google account, if they have one.
