I'd go as far as suggesting that google actually makes the most cash from advertising, and all their other products are to show more users more ads.

I think this kind of generalization is not surprising and used to be the standard back in the day. Nokia at various points made rubber boots, paper, cables and telegraphs, tires, robotics, power generator components, gas masks, chemicals, televisions, telephone exchanges, etc. Mitsubishi did coal mining, insurance, banking, trade, optics and a ton of other things. Sony does life insurance and banking.
