I use it for exactly nothing important in my life. It is possible and doable.
This is actually delusional. Email. You don't get a choice there. And your ad-blocking is unlikely to be 100% effective. How many websites you visit use google stuff? Never clicked on an amp link? That's just for starters. The decisions of others prevent you from living google free unless you leave modern society and find a nice place in the wild.
But more importantly, _No!_ Logistics do NOT matter at all in responsibilities. It doesn't matter how difficult it is. When you're the lynchpin in something and you don't deliver, screwing up someone's business or life to a non-trivial degree you are 100% responsible for that. You can't do it, GET OUT. "The logistics of driving drunk are really hard so it's ok when it goes wrong." Nope. It's not ok. Don't do it. The end. If you can't take responsibility for providing a critical service because you want huge scale you have zero business doing it.
Having more tolerance for smaller players trying to compete is fair. Having tolerance the market dominating force with the decreasing long run average total cost curve making billions is just madness. Break them up. Why are they in phone os development? Why isn't mail spun off from search? Why isn't 3rd party advertising spun off to a separate entity from those two? And so on.
"Because it suits their market dominance" has always been an argument for breaking up this kind of market power not in support of it.
