And if you were to actually create an innovative or competing product, Google would just buy you out like Android, Waze, Nest, etc
Not on browsers, probably. It's one of the areas where antitrust still has some echoes. They'll probably pay you to stay afloat.
Tech giants are buying everyone left and right because people don't want to pay for these innovative products. Imagine paying a monthly subscription for Waze! Who would do that? Literally no one. Innovative products can't exist without paying customers.
