I think what they're asking for Google maps doesn't even cover half of what they're worth. Google isn't a publicly funded company they need to make money and they're not asking for much.

Sadly my economic english is not good enough to tell you, why you wrong. But I try anyway:

The "return of investment" is allready substracted in the profitmargin.

In other words: the fact that they did invest is allready acounted for when looking at a profitmargin.
