If Google doesn’t need surveillance, why do they surveil? Why then do they waste the time to track your browsing history, your location, and etc?

If simple keyword matching was enough, why would they spend literally billions a year on other tactics?

Why does Google launch and then cancel five messaging apps a year? As a monopoly, they mostly don't need good reasons to do anything.

It does help with their Doubleclick business - ads on websites other than Google. I don't find these too personalized either, but they do try.

And of course, many people actually like that Chrome saves their browsing history.
