"And it's pretty clear that when you account for the costs of the Motorola purchase, Android has been a pretty epic failure. And yet as a product it's an enormous success—the most popular smartphone OS on the planet and even more than that a huge driver of smartphone adoption."
This does not change what I said in my previous comment. Even if you relate it JUST a business aspect and ignore that you can't do that. Lets look at googles stock breakdown.

Motorola makes up 2% of googles worth, where Mobile Ads make up 34%. Granted this can be assumed to not be completely Android, even if we assume that only 25% of that is from android devices, thats 8.5%. So 8x Motorolas worth and about 21Billion based on Googles 245B market cap. So a worth of 21 Billion in worth is an "epic failure"? Ok...
