I present to you the Debian Foundation as a counter example. I posit they are surviving just fine without a contract with Google.

  The Debian Foundation also doesn't have to compete against Google on a product that costs millions of dollars to build and maintain, and that Google throws billions at in marketing.

    At various levels it has to compete against Redhat/IBM, Microsoft and other Dekstop and Server OS vendors.

    What is more disappointing is this is what they have to show for after years of funding from Google. I get that they have to build a browser but come on. Is that it?
