Except Google didn't build those things except search.
They bought Android in 2005, Youtube in 2004? and all of their other, non-search successes.

So yes, Google did purchase Android but Google didn't purchase their mobile success story by purchasing Android.
They prevented Windows Phone users from being able to access Google Maps by checking User Agents.
They didn't release a native Youtube app for Windows phone, and when Microsoft wanted to make one themselves they restricted them to HTML5 and non-native access. This penalized battery life on Windows Phone platforms for 2 very large and important services.
Google got success with Android by frankly bullying every other viable competitor out of the market (Amazon Fire, Windows Phone) by again bullying in regards to play store services.
