Interesting, given that the original article makes the point about Steve Jobs' advice.
Apple is a company that famously suggests and pushes people into how it thinks things should be done.
From what you are saying, Larry seems to have heard that advice (which when I first read it I took to be about focus, not profit) and heard "push your users down a particular path".
Moving from a "free to do it your way" model to a "best if you do it our way" model is undoubtably going to cause a lot of grief to long-time Google users. In a similar vein that explains the upset about "moving" stuff from AOSP to Play Services.
