You're conflating Google Brain with Deepmind. Tensorflow was decidedly not an "acquihire".

this is not correct. TF was originated and written by Jeff Dean and some other folks after their experience with distbelief.

Not the application itself. ITA was mainly acquired for their data, Flights was developed from the ground up.
