You were right Spooky
Judge Mehta found that Google doesn’t have a monopoly in the market for general search advertising, noting that competitors like Amazon.com Inc., Walmart Inc. and other retailers have begun to offer advertising related to searches on their own websites. But Google does have a monopoly over search text ads, which appear at the top of a search results page to draw users to websites, he said.
That's the basis of the ruling
it's kind of interesting, basically that because Google has this monopoly, they cannot pay Apple/Samsung billions of dollars to make their search engine the default, because that would be horizontally integrating themselves
I personally do not think that they will do anything radical to Google, it will likely be a large fine and a requirement to be extra conciliatory when it comes to ads
There's a bigger case next month that they'll probably win, but if somehow they don't they would most likely get broken up
