Regardless of whether they abuse their monopoly power or not, it is undeniable that Google is either a monopoly or member of an oligopoly in several areas, including: search, advertisement (adwords), email (gmail), cloud infrastructure (GCP), navigation (google maps), SaaS productivity suite (google docs), mobile operating systems (android), web browsers (chrome), etc.

Google certainly isn't as bad at abusing its monopoly power as it could be, but, well, it certainly isn't perfect either.

Out of everything in that list, I’d say GCP doesn’t belong. AWS is the beast in that space, with GCP running third at best.
