Google has done amazing stuff for the web, so has microsoft, IBM,etc before it. The trick is to not give any one company a lot of power and diversify the power among many corporations etc. Google is still the most innovative company out there but lets hope we realize the time when they will need to step-aside and let other more innovative companies take its place.

Genuinely curious, what "amazing stuff" have Microsoft and IBM done for the web?

Microsoft allowed js in internet explorer, it was an accident but many ppl believe that was the single point from where js took off. My statement was meant for their time. IBM did a lot of thing of important for CS (hardware )during its time so did microsoft. Google is doing similar stuff today with the web and prolly with AI in the near future.
