A comment on Alphabet Earnings Report Q3 2022 [pdf]. Parent comment
I dunno, MSFT products seem to have only gotten worse since 1995 - and their profits are doing just fine.
The quality of a product and its ability to make money seem to almost be inversely proportional.
In Google's case - what matters is - they're doubling headcount (largest expense) and revenue has barely budged.
It'd be nice if the products got better - but all they should really care about is if they're making more money.
