It is because of anti-competitive behavior. Say I create a browser but Google will place big popups (and other sneaky deals) to convince or trick people to install a Google product because they dominate the search and because they can buy their way into getting sneakily installed on users devices.

If I create a Search engine I can't compete on quality with Google because they will buy the default spot on all devices, then with this money from search+ads they buy their way into other markets(video,music,file sharing).

Implementing new kinds of search results is as anti competitive as AWS implementing new kinds of dedicated services. There is no way third party solutions can compete with that, but it is unclear if it is a problem or not for AWS or Google to improve their offerings.

The issue I have with Google Search part is that it can be abused to promote Google products or Google approved information, and sometimes they scrape some information and present it as fact and out of context.

Many times I am wondering is Google pushing this youtube results on top when I search something because this results are more relevant or is because they make money from youtube views.

Could a video platform compete with youtube if Google searches will put youtube results first ?

I think even if Google does not do anything particular to gain, truth is it will earn money when people will click a Google Play game or YouTube video than a link to some random website like Wikipedia.

We should not expect business to not do what makes money. The problem is that sometimes it goes against some other values like freedom, safety, innovation.

Than it is the time to take action. This is the time when action should be taken

I think at some point AWS may be declared anti-competitive. Vertical integration can be in certain cases anti-competitive, and huge AWS bandwidth fees strongly enforce keeping everything at AWS.
