Exactly. In a world with sufficient anti-trust and privacy enforcement Google would instill into their employees a fear of even thinking about pulling stunts like this. Instead we have Googlers and ex-Googlers running defence for it claiming they see nothing wrong.
In such world, no one does anything without running it by the lawyers first, and then a months long debate occurs around every single little move, and nothing gets done.
