IIRC PageRank was patented, so it’s public, and at this point the patent is surely expired.
A lot of the cost is data storage. Unfortunately, I doubt any party will replace old Google.
Storage isn’t as expensive as it used to be, especially if you were to only store text. I feel like nowadays the main costs would be bandwidth and processing, since there are many more websites out there, and they’re much bigger, full of many more scripts to make sense of.
