one thing I always have a hard time understanding. What if a tech giant is considered a Monopoly but it makes my - as a consumer - life easier? I mean having flights tool readily available near Google Search which helps me quickly find a cheap flight without upselling me with hotels and car rentals etc on aggregators like Expedia is something I love and makes my experience better.

You’re not a consumer though, you’re the product.

Google needs to sell eyeballs, so it creates products for free (subsidized by ads) and along the way destroys competition.
