But does google have any obligation to not promote their own products?

A lot of these companies are essentially
Monopolies because of consumer choice

Exactly. It's not as if Google went and bought out all the competition. They just beat their competition.

Nobody HAS to use Google, or any search engine for that matter. Expedia and Trip Adviser can advertise their website and people can go straight to their website.

They own about 90% of the search power. That in itself is a monopoly. They use that power to crush any competition they face in any business they get into.

Including politics
