Well, mainly because Google is a 1 Trillion $ company and why should you help them in exchange for nothing? It's not like they're open sourcing all their data for others to use. They use and control whatever they can in their own interest.

You aren't the customer. The website is. They're providing a valuable service to the website. The website is providing a valuable service to you. You get to choose whether or not doing one unit of Google AI training work is worth using the services of the website. Generally speaking, I find that trade to be quite fair.

Well they do release tons of datasets,and their open source contributions have a lot of importance as well sinxe the past 10-15 years. Sure other companies do OS stuff too,i know. Even, the massive improvements in computational photography in the Pixel phones are explained by them in great detailed blog posts. They even built a special search engine especially for Datasets.
