> only $25 billion in profit

Surely there must be a typo in one of these words? I can’t imagine 25 humongous ones being loose change for any business.

For a company the size of Google making $22 billion on a product from 2010 to 2016 is a nothingburger.

This is their total net income between 2010 and 2016.

They pay Apple a reported $18 billion a year to be the default search engine on Apple devices.

It's a single-digit percentage of what ads make, without much room for growth. I doubt it's a single-digit percentage of technical effort.
