I feel referring to (or hiding behind) scalability is a bit salt in the wound. These huge companies are destroying so many jobs (by scalability) - ok unavoidable - but they should do sometimes things that are not scalable and give jobs back to people in trouble. Im not sure how long they should be allowed to go away with it. [just dreaming...]

I agree with your sentiment. Google is abusing its position of market leader to dominate other markets which it's not very good at, which results in providers that _are_ good at those markets going out of business.

If Google wants to make money by being the endpoint for every question ever asked, they need to accept the consequences when they get the answers wrong.
