Good for them. So do you think that when Google will make billions of dollars in profit a year from the hardware it sells, it will stop tracking user behavior on those same machines?

Now that seems like a move that would get picked up by monopoly watch dogs.

You are answering a different question there, I didn't ask why Google would make it.

I guess the counter could be, they are a company that is predominantly engineering focused, they have a good understanding of what it takes to make a customer product that is widely approved of. Coupled with a ton of money, it's in a good position to make a product that is pretty good. Now for $1800 it would really have to blow my socks off!

Just to add onto this, Google earned $3 billion in Q2 from "other revenues", which primarily is made up of: Play Store Apps/in-app, Google Cloud offerings, and Hardware. This is 12% of Google's total revenue.
