So then it's akamai or limelight, then. Still not a threat.

Open standard, opt-in free cdn, independent compatible alternatives; this does not sound like a hostile takeover of your freedom.

The thing is... if you don’t use Google’s libraries and opt in to Google’s broken UI on mobile (you no longer actually go to the website, you’re kept on a weird container that contains the website), you get a drop in Google’s search results. There are no independent compatible alternatives which do not get that drop.
