The quality of what exactly?
Google's massive internal processes and systems are the result of having already been huge for many years. Google needed the time and resources to build them up. They're not the cause of Google's becoming huge in the first place.
Of course the quality of Google's external search results helped Google achieve a monopoly. Ironically, many people say that Google's search results have been getting worse, and I'd have to agree with that sentiment.
