This attitude is something I truly appreciate. So often posts like these are angry rants about 'how dare they do this to me'. You seem to presume good intentions, which should be the default reaction in life.

One could argue that Google used search revenue for predatory pricing, which breaks anti-trust laws, to subsidise Maps and other services in order to build a monopoly.

It seemed a bit passive aggressive to me, but maybe I'm reading into it too much.

It kinda reminds me of someone thanking a cocaine dealer for giving them some free hits.
