They want to build a monopoly like Google is for search.

There's Bing, and some others. I'm using Kagi. You can pretty much drop one in for another.

Google has a significant amount of marketshare, but it doesn't really have the ability to determine the terms on which a consumer can get access to search services, which is what lets a monopoly be a monopoly.

They've got a monopoly over providing some services to Android users, maybe.
