That's a big problem, a "support guarantee" could really help things.
Google is now a AD platform with a search engine to sell stuff.
I hoped a little bit in Fuchsia, it was the last one for me.
NOW?! They were that for the past 20 years mate.
I noticed today that they get rid of filters in the "products/shopping" tab

Their search could die and they’d still be the biggest advertising player on the internet by leaps and bounds.

Facebook makes much more money than 19% of Google.
Edit: And I wonder why I got downvoted for being right, many here just blindly believe that Google gets their money from ads on third party sites when most of it comes from search.
But I guess your second post is right, it isn't close, Facebook would be much bigger.

Nothing about their worth or whatever.
Google ad manager is the cornerstone of pretty much all internet advertising.
Even if you don’t buy ads from Google directly, somewhere in your ad pipeline is google ad manager.
That money is a part of Googles revenue, so there isn't as much there as you might think. Maybe you mean there is quantity there but advertisers doesn't pay as much for it as they would for Facebook or Google search ads, then yeah that is possible, but normally in a market segment you count big players by revenue and not numbers sold.
On the other hand there's zero desire at Google to try and build the best phone. They have conceded that to Apple a long time ago.
No desire to be number one in Cloud. They are fighting for number 3 spot.
They are the Xerox of AI with a full stack solution. If they had the drive they would be HYPING THE SHIT out of TPU and making it the best solution to run all the real workloads people have.
Guess what. On average a Googler even still today with low bar to entry is probably 10 IQ points higher than average Amazon or Microsoft or Apple. But no; no drive.
