I think Google are way to slow and careful in integrating new technology into their products, even if they are the ones developing the technology.

Take for example Gmail, Docs, and any other of their products. The generative stuff exists for a while. Did they implement it into Gmail? Well, yes, a while ago they introduced Compose. Does it generate any text besides super common phrases like "see you tomorrow"? Not reallly. Their leaders are too careful and scared tbh.

Finally, in most big tech companies it's not easy to make major changes without a huge effort and push from leadership. That's because many teams are involved and people move pretty often, so you have huge part of the codebase that even the people who own it don't know very well. So teams prefer not to touch it unless they have to.
