Except that it did seem to be exempt, for much longer and while becoming much larger than I think most people would have imagined.

Google lost its varnish around the time it sought to fight Facebook with Plus. Around the time they released the Nexus 7.

I guess around the time Sundar became ascendant.

Sundar only became ascendant afterwards. When + was around, Vic Gundotra was in charge of that. Nexus 7 was released back when Andy Rubin was still firmly in charge of all things Android. I'd associate Sundar's ascendancy more with the shift from Nexus to Pixel and Android One, with the assistant, etc.

There is an interesting analogy. Two uranium hemispheres remain peaceful only until they are joined.
