No matter the fine, they’ll pay it and move on.

It can be more than a fine.

They could be forced to sell parts of Google, to stop paying browsers, or whatever the court decides. However if the court decides in favor of the antitrust, then it will also put in place a precedent which will impact the other companies too.
