Accusing Google of missing out on LLMs is shortsighted, in my opinion. They were the ones who invented the entire LLM infrastructure, and they publicly released their own chat LLM just a few months after OpenAI. It's actually quite impressive to me that a company of this ridiculous size is able to pivot and execute so quickly when needed.
And let's be realistic. Had Google been the first to introduce a publicly accessible chat LLM, all the regulators that were already concerned about Google being too powerful would have intensified their calls for antitrust action against Google.
Also recall that Google was not the first to ship a modern smartphone OS and it took them years to achieve a similar quality to iOS, but now they dominate the worldwide smartphone OS market.

And if LLMs will indeed be the revolution that some make them out to be, and Google is able to capture 70+% market share within a few years as they were able with mobile OSes, that's not a bad place to be in.
