A smaller company would at least be less capable of ignoring the fines or the loss of market share. Or in other words, "too big to fail".

"Too big to fail" usually refers to companies such as banks that are such integral parts of the financial infrastructure that governments must bail them out when they screw up. In Google's case I would rather call it "too big to care", because every fine they get is basically a rounding error.
They are also "too big to be regulated", which I would include in the "too big to fail" category.
