Yes, greed. Google is an extremely profitable company, wanting more money than they already have is completely unreasonable.

Unlimited growth is not impossible! Consider having all the money in the world when it starts to burn. Must be nice.

They don't owe us jack shit. If they want to block users of AdBlock I'm sure it's within their right to do so, and it's within yours to look elsewhere.

It's frustrating, but like the parent comment said: they're not running a charity.

Precisely why internet services should be nationalized.
