First of all, I don’t care if they are well payed, their bosses and shareholders are still taking more profits than they deserve.
Second, Google’s workers famously include many many contractors who do not get the same benefits as Google’s direct employees. This is exploitation.
Third, the exploitation runs deeper than just google workers. Their customers include companies which are paying a bunch of money to use their services. This is money which otherwise could have gone to the developers of those customers. Those workers are also exploited by google’s bosses and shareholders.
