Wholeheartedly agree. And we shouldn't stop at Google : a large part of western capitalism in 2023 looks pretty much like a dystopian landscape out of a cyberpunk novel. It's a democratic nightmare in the making.

My take is that this process is inevitable while the following is in play: DoJ rubberstamps monopoly creating mergers, merger desiring companies fund campaigns & otherwise gift politicians, voters keep reelecting those politicians while not overly objecting to their corruption, news orgs fail to cover mergers in a historical context while generally preferring fluff and stenography.
