To add some noise, and my own opinion which had literally no weight.
I think Google's ties to ads is the evil which creates the infinite money and computer and ai scientists etc.. however it's an extreamly negative part of their product suite for the end consumers.
If ads eat the rest of the business faster than they can deliver killer features which make them too good to leave then I think google will be doomed.
If their ads remain in check with their ability to provide great product expiernces then it will likely survive.

I'm optimistic that Google will do well.
