As far as I understand, the reason why Google sold Boston Dynamics was not because it wasn't able to make a profit, but because the obvious way how it would make a profit - military contracts - were not considered strategically acceptable.

Also this reason rings hollow with some of the other stuff Google has attempted with doing business in China.
