I don't understand this idea that seeking profit somehow ablates them of consequences.

Just because they can make a profit doing something doesn't mean they should be allowed to continue, especially if the mechanism of profit damages public or communal infrastructure/resources/etc.

Do you really want to sit by and let them ruin the web just because they can make money doing so?

Who's talking about consequences? I'm debating OP's point about "Google's (less than neutral) motivations/actions".

It is a private, for profit, company, why would anyone expect neutral "motivations". The motivation is profit.
