Yea, actually fair, bit of a non-sequitur.

I meant to say that Google is well-positioned to take advantage of being a Walled Garden, and is doing so now because the model is being built out out elsewhere, both domestically (Apple, Amazon) and abroad (WeChat, Jio).

Facebook and Apple have been driving those trends for well over a decade.
