Yeah it's a shame. Digital could have been the Google. Probably a much better one (it can't get much worse than Google's privacy invasion, after all).
I remember when I left DEC for Apple in the mid-80's and my manager told me I was making a mistake going to work for a company making toy computers.
DEC was a true leader during the mini-computer era, but after that nope. Happens to a lot of companies.
