They've intentionally broken YouTube for a competitor before - Windows phone.

But this time, I'll assume a mistake because the potential anti trust fallout isn't worth it.

Well, yes, but I worked on developing Admob SDK for Windows Phone. So it's not as clear cut as you may have thought of.

Breaking youtube might also be a resourcing issue still - like making sure they control the release process without having to allocate resources to make sure what they do work for windows phone too.

Note: I no longer work at google.

There was also claims that Microsoft ended their HTML engine over anticompetitive behavior from Google.

These claims aren't isolated. I think it's a bad look for Google to repeatedly make mistakes when they are currently under multiple investigations for monopolistic behavior.
