If you look at adtech there’s really only Google and Facebook so it’d call this very close to a monopoly. This is also not a free service so you are only comparing a small subset of Google services which are mostly built to fuel the ad part (Search and YouTube being the biggest one probably)

Please look up the definition of monopoly before throwing the word. Earlier part of your own sentence refutes the claim that google has a monopoly in ad. Further numbers: https://adage.com/article/digital/duopoly-loses-share-ad-spe...

I‘m well aware of the textbook definition of a monopoly. Thanks for your concern.
I said „close to a monopoly“ to refer to the big market share of either of them, which is clearly the case as also written in your linked article.
