"Alphabet generated almost $183 billion in revenue. Of that, 147B — over 80% — came from Google’s ads business"
So, the other 20% non-ad revenue (GCP? Google Workspace? Google Play subscriptions?) represents 36.6B
The article however argues that the 6 billion dollar startups would generate 28.5B in value -- so, less than the (supposedly) 95% of non-ad engineers generate right now..?
And this would also mean that there would be nobody left to run and maintain Search, Android, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Chrome, Drive, GCP, Google's entire infrasructure, ...?
