So the reasoning here is if there are dumb legislators we should just defer to Google on how they should be regulated?

No, we should defer to the career antitrust experts at the DOJ and FTC as well the academics who study anti-trust and competition (a mix of mostly legal and economic professors).

You mean the “career” experts that are just as beholden to the whims of the President?

Or in the case of the FTC that gave the cable companies more power and upheld states blocking municipal broadband and got rid of net neutrality?

Not defer to Google, but a smarter legislator.
