I use Google's products daily and agree they are often better than the competition. But do you not at least see the potential for a problem when gigantic semi-monopolistic tech companies control major parts of the societal methods for discourse and discovery, while collecting personal data from almost everyone? Are people who worry about this so unreasonable that they are deserving of flippant insults and name-calling?

> What's next? No more StackOverflow? No more using that popular package manager and, instead, installing all that stuff manually?

You give no convincing reason why that would be a probable next step, if you even believe it yourself. You buried your own point beneath so many layers of sarcasm that it is neither humorous nor insightful.

Sure, that's called Facebook, and yet it's still around.

Sure it's still around, and anyone considering dropping Google probably dropped Facebook a long time ago.
