Yeah, of course. It's only the platform they depend on. Why not cede control of it to Google, right? What's the worst that could happen?
Sometimes I ask myself why people even try. What is the point when people have such an apathetic attitude? What is the point of these web standards? Some huge company comes in, dominates the market and suddenly they're the standard. Nobody cares as long as they're making money, even though the huge company is usurping control of the platform. Not even a year ago I saw a post here about people at Google talking about moving the web away from the previous "owned" model to a "managed" model or something like that. As long as people don't have to work too hard to get paid, who cares, right? This notion of an open platform is just a funny idea to laugh at.
I've been wondering that that ever since the Microsoft antitrust suit led to the dominance of Chrome.
