I understand completely. It's not that difficult to grasp. I read the article fairly carefully. After finding Google in violation of antitrust over its search engine, there is scuttlebutt that the DOJ may not be done with them yet. Two of the things mentioned quite often are divesting them of their Android Operating System and Chrome. Unlikely or not, I am not in favor of Google being split up to in that way. I gave my reasons for why I believe breaking Google up into those pieces would be bad for MY experience as a user.
I don't really care what other users Google experiences are. I'm selfish that way. You may not agree with me, but what point is it that I have totally missed again? If it's something along the lines of "breaking up Google would be a good thing," then yes. I may have missed that. Same as you always seem to miss the point that it very well might be a bad thing to break Google up. Or maybe neither of us is missing anything and we're simply diametrically opposed in our opinions of multi-national megacorps.
I also don't buy the notion that the newly divested company in charge of developing the Android operating system would be developing/manufacturing/selling their own hardware to run it on. Not to mention the likelihood of such a company being able to seamlessly integrate their OS with Google's other cloud services that I've grown accustomed to being installed on devices by default. A broken up Google couldn't possibly give me the same satisfaction, ease of use, and seamless integration across a range of devices/apps that a unified Google does. That dog won't hunt.
