Seeing how many people that use google products on a daily basis, I think you are mistaken.
> What sells is software people actually want to use.
Looking at app stores such as Steam, they sell a lot of software which is actually never used. So what sells is software that people want to buy. The using part is optional.

I understand that their requirements are different from a lot of other companies. You probably overlooked that part and it might have seemed as if I thought it was unimportant at google, which I assure you is not the case. :-) The second part is indeed a good point, there's a subtle difference and you are correct indeed!
