Google has the best Internet search engine bar none and personally I'd not normally use Bing if not through ChatGPT.
It has Google Book, and I believe it has been scanning books for more than a decade now. It good to know that, so when the next time Mongol-like invasion happen (as happened to old City of Baghdad) all the books contents are well backup /s
It has Google Patent, and the original idea of patenting is for knowledge dissemination in return of royalty, and that knowledge would otherwise locked behind industry closed door.
It has Google Scholar, some of the papers are behind paywall but most of the contents are already cached somewhere (e.g. Pre-Print servers, Sci-Hub, online thesis portal).
It has Google Video aka YouTube that by watching all the uploaded videos within one hour duration to YT platform, will probably last more than your lifetime (assuming lifetime watching videos doing nothing else from cradle to grave non-stop without sleeping).
Ultimately it has Google mail or Gmail and to say that Google do not access the emails on its platform it's providing for free is naive and almost all my colleagues, friends, acquaintances (people that I know personally) have Gmail.
UK ex-PM (no prize of correctly guessing who) was once said on national TV that "Google probably know about him than he knows about himself" (TM).
Google once claimed that no one has moat on LLM but from the planet that I live none has organized the world's information like Google and ironically the CEO just reminded us in the Gemini video introduction that Google corporate mission statement is to organize the world's information and AI, LLM, RAG (insert your favourite acronym soup here) are the natural extensions of what they have been doing all along.
