Considering that Adsense is 90% of revenue this makes no sense

Most of Google's revenue comes from AdWords, which is the ads on google.com and from other ads on Google's own properties. AdSense is the ads that you can put on your own web site, powered by Google's advertising technologies. While it's a huge business in its own right, AdSense could definitely be spun off.

I'm trying to find information on what sections of Google/Alphabet make what revenue. How do you know that AdWords in the majority of their advertising revenue?

Precisely. "Company could avoid regulation by cutting off its revenue stream, ceasing to be relevant."

It's an option but not one I expect them to go with.
