I don't get it. The crux of it all seems to be that Google isn't competing with owners of data it crawls using the very same data. The crawl part isn't as much of a controversy as usage, isn't it ? The mentioned eBay v. Bidder's Edge (2000) seems to be a dispute over usage.
I mean Google is making AI models and Google is summarizing sites so they may well be competing. The difference is Google has a near monopoly on search and ads.
