Google is not an endpoint if you wanna be a money-laden tech bro. To get real cash you gotta create a startup and grift some money out of VCs. To do that, it helps if you “innovated something totally new” at someplace with name recognition like Google.
Everything except search and ads are simply practice grifts before the real grift. You cannot rely on any Google product to last for any length of time, even properties Google purchases will lose reliability as they fall into disrepair and neglect, see Nest.
I used to love Google everything, I was on the wave beta. I was one of the first with a cr-48. It is sad for those of us that want to contribute to something big, cool, and impactful, watch for fuschia to implode next, I think it already started when they “had” to layoff “over hires.”
One or two person teams don’t put a man on the moon. It takes a lot of really smart people working on very small specific things together to make world changing stuff happen, the culture of Big Tech is not conducive to “real” work anymore. It’s big grifts run by little grifters.

I met someone at a party who works at Google. She told me that too many decisions are made by engineers instead of like a higher up product person.
That’s not contradicting what you said. Others have also said there’s a lot more rewards for making something “new” rather than maintaining something.
It’s a failure of Google management
