It absolutely costs a lot. Google also has a borderline monopoly for online advertising.

That's on top of absolutely harvesting your data and selling it as well. You're acting like Google is a non-profit or some shit. They're a giant corporation that doesnt give a shit about you.

I say this as someone with a google phone and generally likes Google products. But you've got to take a step back and realize what they are.
