That doesn't matter. In big corporations, unless they're making a strategic investment in a particular area or product, the ROI on any project is compared with to all other projects. The ROI on Domains is likely to be no where near that of, I don't know, GKE or BigQuery. You can argue all you want about how those are totally different projects with totally different considerations. But at the end of the day, unless Google wants to have a strategic investment in maintaining an end user facing Domain Registrar service, the ROI is all that matters. They are focusing and consolidating all their "developer facing" services in GCP. What makes sense will eventually move there, what doesn't will get cut. ARR and YoY growth tell you nothing about profitability or the ROI. Google never shied away from deprecating services that they don't care about to focus on things they care about.
