The founders know of (or can easily research) Google’s track record with products and they knew the risk going into this acquisition. Probably an unpopular opinion but the time and effort was compensated as part of the acquisition.

Being good at something does not make you a monopoly. They are not actively blocking other online retail platforms. This is not a statement to defend Amazon but the fact that I prefer Amazon for its features (like same day delivery) is just plain capitalism. The customers have a choice to buy from a retailer they prefer and the important thing is that I still have an option to choose where I make my purchases.
