Your key assumption is that Google has all this market power. They don't. The only, and truly ONLY, reason that they're so big and powerful is that everyone automatically goes to google when in need of search. Their business would disappear in a hurry the day that changes.

What's one way that could change? Google stops working for millions of people, so they start using another product.

And gmail and android and angular and adsense and chrome browser and youtube and google maps.

Essentially, what i'm saying is they are not, and have not been for a very long time, about search

The money is mostly coming from advertising across these services and especially adwords and adsense
