Google is a great developer, but a really shitty consumer company.

Nest devices are garbage, it has been like a decade since their phones were competitive with other vendors, ChromeOS was barely hanging outside of education center and now it's a zombie walking since Apple released their cheap Mac Nano, Gemini is a joke as a product compared to Anthropic and ChatGPT. The only things worth something are Chrome, Gmail, Workspace and their Cloud.

Too bad Google can’t compete in consumer or professional AI either

In both cases, Google built a commodity that doesn't necessarily generate revenue for them. I don't think they're doing very well in this case.
