Well, that's my point.

Not to mention I have never had to pay Google a dime, for anything from
which they profit. In fact, I often marvel at how much they are worth,
considering they charge consumers nothing for their services. Not bad
for a company with a "non-altruistic profit motive"

Of course they don't charge users for their services. But think for a
minute about how they make their money, and who pays them for what.
