Why do people think the situation will improve if google is split up? There will still, presumably, be financial connections either between the companies or the people "in charge"? In which case, google properties will presumably still prevail?

I doubt there is any real purpose to a break-up. I do believe there is purpose in showing google in its true light, whatever that turns out to be.
