But Google (the search engine) is one of the greatest gifts to humanity that ever existed!

That some people made a few $100B on it is nothing compared to the value it's given humanity.

Was it necessary to make $100B on it? Remember that Google started as a grad school project. Could it have continued and still been the same gift to the world? (Could it have been better?)
