You might be overestimating Google the business organization.
This is a largely rudderless company that does a gazillion things without any overarching vision. It’s a one trick pony as far as monetization is concerned (ads!), and it’s leadership is more attuned towards optimization than innovation.
Google the business org will never let Google the tech org succeed in a competitive AI arms race. No exec will green flag a product that eats into the Adwords money printer
