Out of the four companies questioned by Congress Google seems to be the most poorly/inefficiently run, as well as the most likely to be broken up due to its products monopolizing the spaces they compete in. If Congress does act and if Google does indeed get split up or negatively affected by antitrust regs, doesn't it stand to reason that the other three also face the same fate?
Weakening AdWords would be a boon to Facebook; making Android independent might help out iPhone sales and increase Apple's walled garden; spinning off YouTube would probably help Facebook, Prime Video and YouTube TV; Google Shopping ceasing to be subsidized by AdWords would be great for Bezos' bottomline, etc. It seems to me that if Congress weakens one of the four, the others will only grow in size/influence.
Hardware doesn't cost that much. Think about the number of new projects or products Google just starts without a coherent strategy and then shuts down without monetizing them, pissing off both users and the original developers. Think about the wasted engineering time. That's why Google is inefficiently run.
