> Google could buy a thousand biotech startups that are all doing innovative work trying to cure cancer and things like that, but that work has nothing to do with search engines or data centers

Yet it has a lot to do with Calico, another Alphabet company.

That's just them doing the silly thing they ought not to be doing. What synergy exists that causes Calico to be better off as part of Alphabet instead of as an independent company?

What if I want to invest in Calico but not Google, or vice versa? All it's doing is making the market less efficient.
