Problem is only one of those things make money.

  I'd say 3 of those make money. The first one, Android with the Play Store, and GCP with Firebase gaining popularity, should all be bringing in enough money to be self-sustaining.

  Android's Play stores makes a lot of money. So much so that it's quite comfortable reducing its fees from 30% to 15% for some developers. Maps already charges fees for all location-based apps (cabs, deliveries, fleet tracking etc) like Uber. It may have to tweak its pricing, that's all. GCP has a revenue model as strong as AWS. There's a reason why Google is pumping money into it. Chrome is the only one that could be called a loss leader but given its dominance, it can figure out a model. If Adobe photoshop can survive as a paid software, so can Chrome and its Developer Tools.

  Google has a TON of retired properties that were profit-makers, but not unicorns. Smaller Baby Googles would likely find solid revenue bringing some of them back.

  That's not a problem, that's an opportunity. Don't we all love "disrupting" things?
