Splitting off Chrome, Android, or Google Play isn't a meaningful, earnest act of "anti-trust" while AWS is allowed to control the data centers. All the web apps and click tracks are there, ICANN's children, and a growing number of federal departments.

requiring “Google to provide support for educational-awareness campaigns that would enhance the ability of users to choose the general search engine that suits them best.”

Real power move there, I feel the competition returning already.

Take a look at what Epic is doing and why - companies that are rich and salty enough are great allies against even bigger tech giants. Whatever remains of Google would still be able to afford lawyers and argue that the same should happen to Amazon, Meta, Apple and Microsoft :)
