The only one legitimately and accidentally created by Google was: Google Reader

Orkut: stagnated and killed

G+: design by committee as you said

YT: acquired but the social aspects are down the drain

We can complain about FB and Zuckerberg as much as we want but they knew how to evolve the network and keep the users

I'm still convinced that what was the true killer of G+ was the slow rollout.

It's like Google forgot that a social network needs to be social. Limiting how many people could get on G+ created hype for sure, but whenever someone got a invite, they realized none (or very few) of their friends were on it, and quickly forgot about it.

The slow rollout approach worked for GMail because your friends didn't need GMail for it to work for you.
