Google products are usually loss leaders, so as a user they feel much better to use than dedicated services that are more clearly monetized e.g. Yelp allowing businesses to remove reviews compared to Google Maps reviews, Google Docs being free and decent compared to Microsoft's Office suite.

While Google's cloud revenues are a fairly small portion of the total overall, Google Workplace sales (i.e. supported suite) would still be pretty significant at many companies. I'm not sure it's fair to call it a loss leader.
