> I think that if I was Google or Amazon...I would do the same?
Of course. There isn't anything particularly evil in Google or Amazon. They are a result of the capitalistic environment. If not them, some other mega corp would have emerged to do essentially the same. Bigger companies get bigger. They are just optimization machines.
That's why we need governments to intervene, break up monopolies, stop mergers, etc. I don't care if it's "fair" for companies. Most people are worse off because of huge multinationals and monopolies.
They are the result of a capitalistic environment that systematically dismantled all rules and regulations to prevent monopoly and oligopolies from happening in the first place
