That's fine, but it's a business—and no matter what your actual goals are, being profitable is a necessary prerequisite for doing it long-term. Google certainly does want Android to contribute significantly to their profitability long-term, even if it's through ad revenue generated through those devices. Mobile is going to be the most important market, so it needs to if Google is going to continue to be such a profitable company, which I'm sure they have every intention of continuing (since profitability allows them to do all the other interesting and cool things they do). My point is, that if Android is contributing so little money relative to their size now, that's not good long-term—because it's not going to support their current size or growth rate.
