If you think of the problem with the shuttering of Reader being about structure and centralized authority rather than the tech, the objection becomes that Google was trusted by an ecosystem of freely-shared information as stewards of a centralizing resource, and then abandoned that responsibility and ultimately destroyed that provider ecosystem by chasing closed-model capture-profiteering
In that light, it’s clear that what Google did to Reader, they’re currently doing to search.
