Google's advantages seem brittle, as their moats aren't as concrete as Microsoft's, and their revenue sources aren't diversified at all. People could replace their relationship to Google far more easily than with Microsoft.

If ChromeOS doesn't take off, I wonder if Google could be temporarily locked out of mainstream desktops and laptops in the AI assistant race.

Hmm, this depends. Microsoft has windows and office but most of the business now happens in the cloud. I try to avoid using google product but were I an advertiser my only other option is facebook.
