Not commenting on Google, but the problem with monopolies is you don't know what other and potentially better products might exist now if there was fair competition. Companies aren't going to fund a competing product when they know they're against a powerful monopoly.

"But the company being accused of having a monopoly has the best product and I like it" was said about Windows too when they were locking out competition. It's short-sighted.
