I know it's off-topic, but I'm impressed with the idea that a public corporation can spend 8 figures on something that 
has essentially $0 ROI and multiple people here can find bad things about it.

I'm shocked someone didn't say "but that's only 0.0000$WHATEVER percent of their profit!".

Google does many things which can be argued as evil, or not, but I would say this is very much not one of them.
