That’s a recent issue. google has essentially one product (85% of revenues, after fiddling revenue sources) which was developed almost 5 years ago. Everything else is a rounding number and most are money losers. The company has been drifting all that time, seemingly unable to release any new products of significance. Google cloud is an also-ran. Android worked in that apple isn’t a monopoly, but no money spinner and seemingly abandoned. New “products” appear and then are dropped. Even the layoffs (source of this thread) were conducted in a ramshackle fashion. They even let a random small company swoop them in machine learning. They had the pole position in that race but after jg left they seemingly lost interest.
