If anyone wants to break Google up, they're free to buy the company with their own money and do as they please

The US government can also break them up. That's why we have a government, to provide infrastructure and protect the common good of the people over uber corporations, amongst other things.
Google is a licensed corporation and as such is owned by USG. The shareholders of Google only have rights as far as USG is willing to grant those rights to the shareholders. They do not own the company.
