Google can go under and literally nothing will flinch. I don't think it will cause any trouble on my side, let alone bigger on then loss of capital.

Come, come: most email is Google, most phones are Google, most web browsers are Google. If you measured the global impact of any single company going under (with nothing else inherently changing), I wonder if Google might be #1.

Maybe it is in your world (and I have no idea where you borrowed that statistics). Personally I don't use any google product and them going under won't affect my life or life people I know to that matter.
Compare this with HSBC going under or say JPMorgan. Or Adyen. Or amazon (screw their retail - it would be much better for everyone if they die, but unfortunately a lot of companies still build their IT on AWS).

13 million businesses of their business offering across 3 billion users would be a noticeable dent in the world (https://sqmagazine.co.uk/google-workspace-statistics/)

I hadn’t thought about AWS. If going under meant that everything just disappeared one day, yeah, that would probably be enough to tip it to bigger global impact than Google. If it was an orderly collapse, I don’t feel I can assess it so well.
But the others you name: not a chance, big businesses already diversify such services. They don’t partner with one bank or one payment provider only.
