"Google was never good at making new things" - uhm, what??? I suppose if you want to you could accuse everything and everybody of that, as everything anybody invents builds on things that have existed before it (yes, even the iPhone). But to accuse Google of that really seems an enourmous stretch. What about street view and Google earth? Google Wave? Self driving cars? Container based data centers? Map Reduce? And so on... I am not a Google fanboy and haven't memorized their achievements, but seriously, they introduced a lot of "new" things.
