'really succeeded' sounds super crazy dismissive.

Besides android being gigantic huge, you still have google maps, chrome, gmail, pixel phones, passkey, yubikeypush/2fa, the new cookie aproach, YouTube!!1 etc.

Why would Google need a 'recent' success to be able to win ar snail?

the point is probably about whether google still has the ability to go from 0 to 1. instead of 1 to n. from the outside they look like they are not so slowing becoming the bean counting accountant / MBA type of company.
