You are gatekeeping based on irrelevant details when my point is that prior entrants had higher or untenable costs and Google might not, which I think you agreed on.

Google's advantage is that it doesn't need a dedicated hardware play, has saturation in relevant markets in their existing hardware plays, and has existing capacity in their large compute infrastructure. Whether consumers care is another story, but they can throw more money at things to make them care without having other untenable overhead costs as a distraction.

Google's advantage is that they've got loads of cash. Speaking of that advantage is adding nothing to a conversation.
