I mean, the fact they abused that was illegal and anticompetive, yes. This is not a "they are big" problem, it's a "they're big and doing illegal price fixing with it".

Also, note that Google was caught intentionally deleting evidence they were ordered by the court to retain.

This is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Google_LLC_... in particular.

(Note the separate case which determined Google is running an illegally anticompetitive operation in Search was a separate case which can be referred to as "United States v. Google LLC (2020)" and there is a third case they lost recently, Epic Games Inc. v. Google LLC, which determined Google operates an illegal monopoly with Android as well.)
