For me it's that they needlessly centralise the internet, and that's their goal too.
Suddenly one data centre goes down and the whole internet will too.
And data centres do go down, one of Google's most recent outages happened in an entire region and they were unable to badge into the building because that also relied on Google infrastructure.
