Anyway, petro states depend on a single source of depletable revenue. They even fail at all attempts to expand up the value chain around services or refining of their oil. Even if Google's only successes are around furthering their ads revenue, that's still a far cry from petro states.

Saudi Aramco has extensive refining capabilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Aramco#Refining_and_chemicals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Aramco#Refining_and_chem... They got into exploration, and shipping as well. So they ABSOLUTELY build successes around the cash cow, just like google.
