> are we now arguing Google has a monopoly over google.com? It gets a bit weird

I don't know anyone who's arguing that. But I do see people arguing Google having a monopoly on search. In a lot of domains, a business can be created or destroyed entirely on their Google search rank.

Even if Google search was broken off to a standalone company, it would still have a monopoly on search.

The competition just isn't as good at search. Bing has been around for a long time and has managed to gain less than 10% of market share, even though almost everyone has heard of it.
