No it doesn't. If Google stops supporting it, the community forks it and continues development. Has happened often in the past.

No. Brave builds on top of the Chromium engine which is from Google but open source.

Raspberry Pi with Plex?

For me they are even better than Google. But I use Qwant now.

Because of network effects.

Building a social network is hard. A typical chicken or egg problem. If you don't have a user base, nobody is willing to join, and if nobody joins, you don't have a user base.

It usually requires a bunch of money to build a social network.

The fediverse has a long time to go but I believe it will win sooner or later.
