It's hard to imagine that Chrome/Chromium doesn't have the user in mind. But at its heart, it exists as a distribution channel for Google search. Should the omni-bar prioritize browser history over search results? Google and users might disagree. Open source is a powerful distribution channel when value is aligned with the end-user.
Do you remember Google Images? The product hasn't seen much innovation in the last decade. Instead, competitors like Pinterest have built entire businesses on disrupting it. Why? Because Google doesn't show ads on Image Search. Image Search wasn't the platform shift significant enough to disrupt text-based searches, but voice or AR/VR might.
Where is Google strongest? While it's true that ad load on Search and YouTube has increased dramatically over the last few years, free is hard to beat.
Search is extremely valuable to us. Erik Brynjolfsson, a researcher now at Stanford, did some work to show that an average user would require compensation of $17,000 to forego search engines for a year
Google's average revenue per user (ARPU) for search is extremely high. It's hard to separate nowadays, but I've seen ARPU estimates from $100 - $250 / year. Would you pay that much for search? Your alternative should probably generate a higher ARPU (or have a wholly different business model).
