Which of those do you think is a product "for generative AI"?
The youngest of those products is 15 years old.
15 years of dominance? Sounds pretty competent at keeping up with market changes. No reason to believe generative AI is an exception.

Uh, you snipped in the middle of a clause so you could argue against something it didn’t say.
Here’s the whole thing (leaving out a parenthetical that isn’t important here):
“Google has spectacularly, so far, failed to execute on products […] for generative AI”
You listed a bunch of products in other domains, some of which are the reasons why it has institutional incentives not to push generative AI forward, even if it also stands to lose more if someone else wins in it.
I'd add Maps

All of those are cost centers paid with their adtech business.
Android is the biggest OS in the world
Chrome is the biggest browser in the world
Gmail is the biggest email service in the world
YouTube is the biggest video platform in the world
Google is the biggest search engine in the world
Google is the biggest digital advertiser in the world
and I'm probably missing more things they're #1 in.
Not bad for a company that has "spectacularly failed to execute on products"
