I see Google's recent hardware plays as Google trying to get into the high margin fashion industry, which is currently Apple's exclusive domain. Sony used to be the other tech fashion company. Google will have a hard time dragging along its existing customers, who are not primarily interested in fashion.

You go to the trouble of getting into a different industry in order to find new customers. Your existing customers are already your customers.

If you stop selling products they want, you don't get to keep them.
