It's not a tax. It's you being parasitic on someone else's infra.
it's actually Google being parasitic on all the apps' infra. I paid for the app store infra when I bought my phone, and every time I open it and see ads, and with my tracking data for the NSA. They don't need to be allowed to quadruple dip.
Good thing the companies that participate in the current AI craze would never ever behave in any way parasitic.
Given what google search/AI/data tracking is, there should be no shame in using their infra for free. Hell,it should all be free by default.
