It tells me that's the weakest number they can possibly report. If I were Google and I knew I had the strongest ML teams in the world by miles, the strongest internal results by miles, I would say as little as possible for as long as possible. Get as far ahead as possible.
I think the Alphabet board learned their lesson on announcing early. They still shut down products, of course, so does Intel, Facebook, and every other company. And I think they're learning their lessons about sales (Cloud's hiring 10k sales people) and customer support (I'm sure they're painfully aware of the issues).
