Google has more or less been playing by the "open, free, web standards based" rules until it's browser got too big to fail.
Then started pushing out things like NaCl that aren't standard, and while open, very hard to implement in a way that stays compatible to Google (and arguably not something you want to implement if your focus is web standards of course).
To make sure of that, you buy how some game studios to release for that platform, and eventually only on that platform (See Bungie+MS, since you like these examples).
This is a lock-in, and that's the first extinguisher, and the worth part: it's only the tip of the iceberg we're starting to see.
Wanna wait til it gets bad for everyone just cause you like Google? Then you'll get in the "oh noes, Google deceived us" in 3-5 years?
Well, it'll be far too late. Better to voice things now (and it may already be too late).
