That does sound pretty bad. I guess it really highlights the power of a monopoly. Businesses may rely on each other, but if one relies more, then they pay all costs due to necessity while the other pays nothing because they can easily outlast the pain.
It could be different. But different doesn't necessarily mean better unless we design it to be better. It's so hard as a little guy to get a foothold in search without one of the big 2.
