Profit comes whenever your costs are less than your revenue.
GCP and Google are completely different. Nothing except a few inconsequential internal Google apps run on GCP.
Building servers and knowing how to address the needs of the enterprise are completely orthogonal.
Sorry the only citation I have is a podcast.
And in what universe is revenue inconsequential? Profit comes whenever you want to stop investing in growing. There is zero reason to believe that Google will be unable to turn a profit off GCP whenever it decides to. Particularly given that it was building datacenters for Search before AWS even existed.
