Even outside technology, Google went from that cool "don't be evil" company, to suppressing search results so that people would vote the way Google wanted.

Add a few cases of Glassholes[1], killing products people loved, and it eventually piles up.

I will add though, that just because the company has lost its lustre, doesn't mean the people working there are any less talented. I just think that on a long enough timeline, Google becomes IBM[2].
