How does a company like Alphabet have so much space to grow at this point?

Keep expanding into more and more markets. Google has had over 90% of the search market for almost 10 years. Android barely existed 10 years ago.
Programmatic is a big part of it (read: Youtube). It means that the ads business on Youtube has made massive strides in the past year.

That's not the only thing, but it's a big part of it.

They didn't grow. They got a tax cut.
Their revenue grew 26% yoy. That has nothing to do with tax cuts. Stop letting your confirmation bias cloud your judgment.
26% revenue increase YoY
What? Google grew over 25%. Which is just accelerating as numbers get bigger.
