Google has a magic money fountain so they can afford to fail with new products. Besides a lot of the products were 'successful' for the employees who received pay rises and promotions
Their barrier for success is so high they kill off anything before it even has a chance. Look at Stadia was it even out a year before it was effectively canned?
Imagine if Microsoft had taken that approach when they built Xbox, they knew some products are a marathon not a race.
Starting to wonder if any of the decision makers there even remember what the early moments of a product can be like.

Xbox nearly died in development, as Bill Gates was none too pleased with the decision. Fries recalls Microsoft's "Valentine's Day Massacre" in which Bill Gates furiously ripped apart the development team for circumventing his original idea.
