Seems likely. This way if/when Google LLC gets hit by massive antitrust fines the rest of the Alphabet subsidiaries will be insulated.

the rest of the Alphabet subsidiaries will be insulated.

they already are...relatively speaking they make no money.

Since Google makes all the money, that's the opposite of the important direction of insulation. This way if one of the other bets incurs massive liabilities, Google's assets and income streams are insulated.

This would make sense if the other entities were actually making, which they don't. Cut the ties to Google and everything else dies.
