In real estate, the value of a property is often tied to the value of the rental income it could bring in, even if it's never been offered for rent.
'Rent seeking' doesn't refer to the same kind of 'rent', of course, but I think the analogy holds up pretty well. All Google has to do is turn a few screws, and the rest of us will have no choice but to sing whatever tune they call.
