If we had a functioning government, there would be a "Department of Technical Security" who would have broken up "Google" the first time they moved in on "Web-Standards Bodies". Their behavior has been obvious to all since the beginning: Remove the possibility of avoiding:

  1. Ads
  2. Propaganda
  3. Censorship
  4. Unconstitutional Government data-scraping

Of course, since it's in the government's interests to have 'pRiVaTe CoMpAnIeS' perform these tasks, nothing will change.
