We were talking about product quality... but OK.
While not exactly fan of Google pushing their other offerings, I still have to find someone who doesn't do that on their own properties. Even our office landlord keeps pushing us to rent some more parking spaces.
But that does not make it a monopoly and the very fact that those other offerings are unsuccessful shows that this behavior is not that problematic.
I am willing to put up with it if this means preventing yet another competition stifling, consumer harming, incumbent favoring - regulation.
Not finding value in Google's offerings is not what it is about: it is about abuse of monopolistic power, and Google is very guilty of that.
