If we get scammed by buying a false app in Google's Play Store, Google gets a big share of the stolen money. Hiring humans to protect us against scams isn't just a costly challenge for Google, keeping us safe means Google loses money. If Google knows what's going on, it is a criminal organisation.

Imagine you see your neighbour stealing in the supermarket, instead of telling him not to do so, you whisper in his ear: "I'll help you if you give me 30%." What does that make you? Imagine you develop software to do so on a massive scale, that makes you a Big Tech Billionaire.
