I feel that the article is not complete. Google is way more diversified (Google Apps, Cloud and so on). Furthermore, it also takes risks (with Google X).

While Google does make a lot of it's earnings from Ads, Google Cloud is supposed to surpass it's Ads business in the next 4 years.

Where do you hear this goal? Google Q2 Ads revenue was $21.5B. AWS Q2 revenue was $2.6B. Google is currently small compared to AWS.
