As you allude, Google's ability to deliver depends on the share price. While they are free from activist shareholders, they aren't free from competition for talent.
Starting up interesting long-term projects and then canning them at the first sign of a cloudy quarterly forecast is not how you compete for top talent. It just makes the entire company look spastic and irresolute.
Google/Alphabet is in a good position to build the next Bell Labs. Instead, they're building the next Lucent. That's a bummer.
