So this is a lot like Microsoft using specialized formats or APIs in Windows that competitors cannot access, which was a problem throughout the 90s. The problem never went away - it has just changed appearance.

This is allowing Google to do something TO you that no one else can do to you, and that you assumed no one could do to you.
