Facebook came after google, and managed to compete in ad business, got orkut and google+ discarded pretty quickly. Playing devil's advocate here, but doesnt that prove that no matter how big/powerful you are, some random kid could still take you down. Look at Big 3 and Tesla...etc

Facebook ad business have become a thing after an enormous amount of money have been poured into the company
Google is king of the keywords (products and services), Facebook is king of targeting (brand awareness)
But they are not really competing against each other on the contrary the gap is widening
Google made 61 billions more than FB in 2018 and 65 more in 2019
That's why FB is moving towards a marketplace based on their own cryptocurrency
People are worried by their power.
Too much power is dangerous.
Google works at global scale, if even the US want to stop them from becoming even more powerful there must mean something.
If you think about it the NBA draft was invented to avoid that the best team chose the best players year after year
It's what you call "punish their success"
I cal it "enable competition"
