I mean, excepting that google isn't even really the main offering when it comes to institutional compute (that's Microsoft/ azure).

Like IBM had mainframes and legacy infrastructure on lock.

The only thing google really has on lock still is gmail, but honestly, take it or leave it.

They had search, but I get better answers asking a space heater to hallucinate a couple hundred characters for me these days.

For Gmail if you mean a lock on consumers who generally don't pay for the product I would agree, but I have done more g-suite to Office 365 in the past 12 months than I have in the past 5 years. It is too bad because we could really use some competition and different ideas in the office productivity space.
