Unlike Stadia, Android was acquired.

  Eh, they acquired it when it was going to be an OS for digital cameras, and had no uptake. The point doesn't really stand here. The better point in favor of the "Google can't sell anything" argument is that they don't really sell Android to end users. The OEMs do all the selling, and they just get taken along for the ride while they offer a platform where they also sell ads and gather user data to target ads better. The devices they actually sell (Nexus, Pixel) have never really had that much success outside of enthusiast communities.
