There are companies out there that take the lead in a market and go on to refuse offers from Google. Google isn't all-powerful. People do say no to them.

GroupOn is probably that biggest. They turned down a $6bn offer. They're now worth $258m, down 92% from a peak of almost $16bn, so maybe not the best example over the long term, but they did say no.

How do you know Google doesn't have a similar LLM? Just because they haven't decided to replace search with it doesn't mean they don't have or can't develop one themselves.

Google has the expertise to make this in house. There's no moat.
