There's a very vocal subset of people here that believe monopolistic entities arise due to how much better they are than their competition, and thus deserve to be monopolies.

The very same users believe that such companies aren't "bad" yet, but in some kind of intermediate stage between successful startup and evil MEGAcorp.

I don't know. I think it's the mix of nostalgia, and being too invested in their ecosystem/products. Fanboying, basically.

When Microsoft did it 25 years ago, it was bad. When Google does it now, it's not bad.
