Great post, but I would rephrase this
> Shareholders don't care, they just want to see Google's dollar amounts go up 20% per year as they did for a decade. And if Google doesn't do this massive investment? Well, they may lose everything.
to “they may stagnate”. Alphabet shareholders are not going to be left with worthless shares because Alphabet still has the ability to earn tens of billions of dollars of profit per year, just shares worth less than they hoped they would be worth. I.e. they might have to be content playing in the market cap of hundreds of billions rather than trillions.
