IMO Alphabet has run out of goodwill by abusing their market dominance in a more overt way.
Looking forward to more aggressive action by FTC, note that tech donors have asked Harris for Lina Khan's removal as a quid pro quo.
The key point is the courts only generally care about antitrust issues if they're adversely affecting the consumer, and alphabet is starting to get into that territory.
