They are also now duplicating behavior that they themselves ridiculed in the past.
In the end, Google is a juggernaut and this too shall pass. But it is pretty easy to make jibes at them for being hypocritical.

Google does more than business. They attempt to shape public opinion with skewed search results and censorship. They probably removed their "Don't be evil" clause because they were tired of hearing people laugh out loud when they read it.
But that's beside the point when talking about their 30% in-app greed and how it gives them a huge advantage when competing against Barnes & Noble (for one).
