I respectfully disagree. The only reason Google supposedly has us ...

in a position where in many cases we have no choice but to use many of their products because they are the only available in some cases ...

... is because we the people have willingly and without thinking things through bought into their sublimely delivered propoganda. All instinct of self-preservation has been killed off, like the evil Monsanto's Roundup on weeds, by their decades of mass manipulation of society.

People must ask themselves: why am I willing to sell my soul for mere convenience?

If I may ask, what Google products do you feel are the only ones available?
