You are over-generous.

Android - Acquisition

Doubleclick - Acquisition

GSuite - Acquisition

AppEngine?? - Is that still around?

Google is indeed rudderless, but it's been mostly just milking their search cash cow for a long time.

Android was an acquisition but I believe it was completely rebuilt at Google. Pre-iPhone, it was a Blackberryish UI.
