Maps is a clear in-house success.

Android and Docs/Drive/Sheets were two acquisitions.

Google is certainly a contender in cloud computing services, but they have a market share of 4% in 2018 for a product category they were one of the first to enter on a big scale, and I don't think niche success is what they are after.

I'm not sure what I think about Chromebooks. I'd like to hope that it has an exciting, Fuchsia-coloured future.

Isn’t it telling that a former bookseller was able to execute better in the cloud market than Google?

Maps is also an acquisition, although we could argue that what google maps successful was developed after the acquisition.
