Alternative search engines don't help much when you need traffic to your web site. Alternative MP3 players don't help much when you want to sell mobile apps. (Note: I don't like the "monopoly" cries either).

The difference between Google, for example, and Microsoft is that if Google start doing horrible things, people can switch their homepage pretty quickly. Switching OS is very very very very hard for the average computer user.
