Many EU countries have a “VAT” and like feel like this is kinda targeting poor people. Like, for the rich, this is insignificant, for poorer people, a (example) 20% tax would be a huge burden. Why do they do this?

There is no VAT in America. Just sales tax at a state and local level. VAT is a very specific method of taxation that isn’t the same as a general sales tax. I’m still not sure how you are relating that to Google either though. Google sells very little compared to someplace like Amazon.
I don’t know what State you live in but we sure as shit have it in Illinois.
Illinois has a use tax, commonly called retail sales tax, which is NOT VAT.
