It is not like microsoft that actually owns the product, google is more like the postal service in my mind. They just deliver information from one person to another. Granted, I would not like to see a complete monopoly, but I know that if they do something to really irritate people that they can never stop other people starting there own search engines with relatively low costs compared to trying to compete with microsoft for the OS market.
