Even what people think of as Google.com - simply "search" is a decently diversified product (not business, it's all ads).

There's traditional web search.

Maps.

Images.

Video (which is essentially YouTube integrated into Google Search).

Each of these products would be Fortune 250 companies on their own.

Obviously, it's all powered by the Ads team / business.

But that's two majorly different parts - Google's 1P ads (including video), and the display network (3P ads).

None of this is useful without a gigantic analytics org.

And that's just "search".

Cloud & G-suite would each also be Fortune 100 businesses.
