Any economist would.

Could Google be leveraging their grasp of the world's free information to predict their competitors' pricing changes?

According to the re:Invent keynote Amazon has dropped aws prices 20+ times over it's 6.5 year lifespan. Google doesn't need to tap into it's records to know Amazon is playing the high volume\low margin game.

This could be a signal they want to send to Amazon, too "every time you cut your prices, we will, too, and that will just be bad for both of us".
