> de-factory monopoly

Not really:

  - Video: Till Oct '12, youtube's market share peaked at ~52%. [1]

  - Email: Gmail surpassed Outlook in market share only in Oct '12. [2]

  - Search: Google Search 67.5% as of March 15, 2013. [3]

> many of these services have stagnated

And when they attempt to get out of markets so that other new companies can perform better, we get Reader like response.

> Google does not seem to care much about Internet standards

And how are you sure that FastMail and Vimeo (Alternatives suggested in the OP) are any better?
