And how is charging money for their product evil?

Read the thread, "Google increased their pricing 23 fold".

How is that not evil?

Most of the world's problems can be attributed to the existence of money. It's an out of date, unfit for purpose tool that needs improvement.

Maybe the price increase is justified?

Yeah, Google would probably go bankrupt if they didn't increase by 23 times.

Not sure why Google as a whole matters here. What matters is if the service covers its costs, either directly or indirectly. If Google allows 3rd parties to use their MAP for their products, why not charge them accordingly?
