They can't because Googles empire is built on bait and switch tactics, and if the product is open source, nobody can bait and switch it.

Open source actually guarantees that all shitty behaviors from big tech doesn't work at all.

Yeah, NextCloud itself was forked from OwnCloud because its core contributors didn't like where OwnCloud was going. I imagine the same could happen to NextCloud the moment it's getting enshittified.
