The central point of the article is that "Google shopping is search". Full stop, bringing ads into the article is expansion but not necessary.

You're allowed to have a monopoly, as long as you gain it fairly and defend it fairly, and don't use it to give other products an unfair advantage.

So then the question simply becomes: is Google Shopping a separate service or is it search.

The author argues that Google Shopping is search, the EU argues it's a separate service. There's merit to both arguments IMO.
