I very much doubt that Google's other businesses "cost hundreds of billions [of] investment to create". Google also has more than 100+ billion in the bank so they could easily sustain their operations and scale back if that SPOF ever happened. Additionally, they would focus on maximizing their other revenue steams such as Android, Google Cloud Platform, Nest, Waymo, Verily Life Sciences, DeepMind, GV, CapitalG.
>What other central companies have at-risk anti-technology SPOF business models?
Any other business in which the majority of their profits are dependent on a single revenue stream. It's only the true conglomerates, like Samsung, that could easily react to a SPOF because of how their diversified portfolio of businesses are and non reliant on one core business for their annual revenue.
