I think the fact that Google allowed a very small core team to design and develop the application has more to do with innovation than their lack of enterprise software influencing the final product. Innovation seems to stem more from the vision of a individual (or brothers, in this case) than from the "design by committee" approach which seems to be adopted at enterprise software companies.
