Be careful when loving shareholder-driven endeavors; they're a single executive decision away from breaking your heart.

It's "shareholder-linked" (probably not "driven"), but yes, upvoted. Nonetheless, even when with grave faults in the path, Google has managed to give us marvellous, paramount free resources (Google Street, Google Museum...), and would have given more (Google Books - if the negotiation had succeeded). I am grateful.
Google Streetview/maps isn't even the best mapping/'streetview' tool at this point. Filled with ads and bugs, some major bugs have been there for 10+ years.
Now I'm curious. What is the better mapping and streetview tool at this point?

Why would you be grateful? I don't think any of that should be under private control to begin with.
And which public enterprise has undertaken those projects?
Looking at current hot problems, and exemplary of the situation: which public entities have endeavoured to backup the most important channels and videos from YouTube, the current historic video archive?
Why would I be grateful?! Because somebody did create those resources and made them available! And they did to common good (if anybody refused the expression "for" common good).

Marriages too
Hopefully you have a bit more impact on the decision making of your marriage shareholders than on public company executives.
Statistically you are very correct.
