Google building more and more stuff directly into search has been going on since the early 2000s. Why are you uneasy now?

There are many googlers who sincerely support free software, but Google the company is a business that has no particular interest in preserving other businesses or even business models.

Why would anyone expect Google not to eliminate its competitors?

Google is in the business of organizing the worlds information and monetizing it through advertising.

If you are in the information business, Google is in competition with you.
