I don’t hate google but Google is not just search, it’s an ecosystem. OS, browser, email, search etc.

Wrt to Search,

Scale: Huge cost of infrastructure, data is privatize.

You could run a hobby scale pagerank but for searching web it would be a needle in a haystack.

They have competition like yandex, nacy, baidu but are not for English web and not open source

In 2022, Android & Chrome are the most valuable pieces of Google.

For instance, if Microsoft controlled them, they could just point the search functionality toward Bing, and most users mightn't even notice.
