Something can be good for a corporation you don't like AND good for the world at the same time, without any implied tradeoffs or dichotomies.

Yes, Google is betting heavily on web-everything-all-the-time because they know how to monitise the web (and their competitor don't). Making the web better furthers this goal, but it also makes the web better, so there's that.

When we start seeing things that will break/degrade the web for apps and users that aren't in the Google (ad/tracking) garden, that's when we start to worry, but there's been very little, if any, of that.

Is there anything PageSpeed is doing that you see this way? Because that's really not what we want to happen!

No, I was referring to Google in general. PageSpeed seems perfectly benign.
