The deeper problem is the money people who lead Google have no imagination whatsoever and literally can’t figure out how to make money in anything that isn’t mining user data for ads. Cloud is a money pit, and will NEVER be #1 in the space.
They literally put more effort and resources into rigging ads auctions than trying to solve real user problems.
They're just making a correct calculation. Do we increase our $70 billion / quarter with 2% or do we put resources towards doubling the income of a $1 million / year product.
Yes, the answer isn't what you'd like, but let's not pretend it's not rational.
