It’s pretty clear 25 years in Google is a one trick pony: they make money selling targeted ads and that’s about it.
Now, you could argue in favor that Cloud makes some revenue beyond ads; but are a third tier offering that is only there because ads cash was tossed into a furnace. They are “profitable” now, but there’s no way they’ve made back the money they burned and they won’t for a while.
None of the robotics teams at Google with ever produce anything useful in the market and are pretty much on the chopping block as it is.
