Sure, but google shouldn't be able to get a generic gTLD like this. Why is google's interest in owning "dev" more valuable than everyone else's?

Agreed; that's what GP was getting at and people were refuting the claim with "but I have registered a .dev domain." For three-ish years, Google was hoarding it and the Internet pushed back and Google relented for some unknown reason (I hope due to the pushback but I'm not counting on it).
