In my utopia, Google would be forced to continue to pay out the current annual contract sum, at a decreasing percentage every year, for some number of years, to all affected companies, giving them the opportunity to divest and pivot.
The root problem doesn't get fixed if the company with enough money to be a monopolist still has the money when this is "resolved."
That is actually fairly smart. That way you don't shock the ecosystem and effect the economy.
