I think you're still seeing these companies as startups. They're in incremental innovation mode now. I'm biased, because I was hoping Amazon would come in and wipe the floor with Australian retail, but it's been kinda lukewarm.

We also missed out on Google Voice, will miss out on whatever TV play they're making with YouTube.

To be fair, us Canadians are in the same boat. You can be literally a stone's throw from the U.S. and still not get a lot of features available. Voice was never available, Wallet took several years before it was rolled out here, YouTube Red isn't available here either. Hell, most new Home/Assistant features take months to arrive here too.
