If a power company suddenly shuts down and after the logistics nightmare that follows, they get replaced, they are still infrastructure. If just a few products that google make go offline for only a few hours, the economic damage that causes is in the hundreds of millions at least. Just because googles services could feasibly be replaced, it does not mean they are not infrastructure.

Ok, so you're basically saying that Google should be regulated because they're like infrastructure - even though they can be replaced given a few months. There are good to great alternatives for every Google product.

Yet, it's ok for Europe to ignore their own monopolies.

This is just moving the goal post. A monopoly is a monopoly.

What about ASML? They're a monopoly for EUV machines, which power our modern tech economy. That should be "infrastructure" enough right? Why isn't Europe looking at them?
