To be fair, Google enters so many categories that some of them are bound to fail. Neither Apple, Meta or Microsoft really tries as many things as Google, so perhaps Googles issue is a lack of focus and vision.

One problem that Google might have is that their criteria for success has become to high. Products has to make billions within a short time frame, but they aren't willing to make the same kind of investments in ensuring that success as a company like Apple is. The AppleTV, or even the Apple Watch would have been killed or sold off had they been Google products. Why they keep the Pixel I have no idea, maybe it is in fact part of some larger plan.
