The amount of data and power that Google has is absurd. Their reach is global, their influence is unparalleled. On top of that, they are a for-profit company. They have to worry about shareholders, competition, innovation, pleasing their customers, and feeding their employees. They have every right to fight tooth and nail for every penny they're capable of earning...

...and yet they don't. Google is quite Good in many scenarios where they could easily get away with being Evil. You've implied that they have "tunnel vision towards the bottom line", but I think you'd be hard-pressed to support that point.
