Google doesn't actually have many customer-facing product wins on the strength of their GUIs / UX to its credit, period. Google search was minimalist. Android followed everyone else in the market, and hasn't iterated core UX much since. G Suite office apps were acquired, and mostly cloned Office online. Same with Gmail. Maps is about the only heavily-used app, and I wouldn't call its design revolutionary (or even good). Chrome is about the best example I can come up with, and it's mostly iterated and improved on the back end. Maybe I'm missing something major? But it's not a market they compete in or are particularly good at. (This isn't to say that the initial lift of desktop apps to the web wasn't a technical tour du force; just that blue sky GUIs have never been something they're known for) |

That's a feature.

Yes.
