Google has really stayed true to its mission: connect people and information. When I'm sitting at my desk and in focus mode, I get information by opening a web browser and navigating to google.com. But if they hadn't invested in Chrome, that might not have been the case by now. If I'm out and about, I access information via my phone. They built Android for that. If my only option were Apple or Microsoft phones, I might not be asking Google for information. When I'm sitting at home on the couch, I just yell my queries and a little round computer answers back. It could use some improvement, but it's still me asking Google. Along the way, Google finds ways to monetize the dispersion of information. I don't really mind because there's literally no alternative that doesn't also try to retain some of the value add. So why this myopic focus on search? There are a lot of products here that keep me in the ecosystem. Google is a platform company that knows a lot about me and makes my life easier and along the way takes money from advertisers.
