And not just Google, or per the article Amazon and Apple. While I'm long out of the Windows ecosystem (my Year of the Linux Desktop was a decade and a a half ago), it's been noted it has partly changed from a product you use to get your stuff done to a platform to sell you more stuff from Microsoft, plus whatever they might be doing or will do with its build in advertising.

Of these, Google is by far the worst in my opinion. Mainly because they don't sell any other product. *You* are their primary product.
Amazon is eating an increasing chunk of Google's lunch. They promote advertising in about the only way it really makes sense to me --- on their web site --- where I go to express an interest in buying a specific product.
