That's actually one of the reasons why Google might win.
Nvidia is tied down to support previous and existing customers while Google can still easily shift things around without needing to worry too much about external dependencies.
Chromecast is "gone" because it bridged the gap of dumb tvs needing streaming capabilities. Now almost every tv sold has some kind of smart feature or can stream natively so Chromecast aren't needed.
chromecast is alive, podcast, music were migrated to youtube app, url shortener is not core business and just side hustle for google. Not familiar with g suite legacy.
Wait until Apple's ChromeBook competitor shows up to eat their lunch just like switching to another proprietary stack with no dev ecosystem will die out. Sure they'll go after big ticket accounts, also take a guess at what else gets sanctioned next.

It's all small products which didn't receive traction.
It's not though. Chromecast, g suite legacy, podcast, music, url shortener,... These weren't small products.

Google Hangouts wasn't small. Google+ was big and supposedly "the future" and is the canonical example of a huge misallocation of resources.
Google will have no problem discontinuing Google "AI" if they finally notice that people want a computer to shut up rather than talk at them.
> Google+ was big
how you define big? My understanding they failed to compete with facebook, and decided to redirect resources somewhere else.

Isn't an iPad with a keyboard or the air essentially a Chromebook competitor?
The only lunch that will be eaten is Apple's own, since it would probably cannibalize their own sales of the MacBook air
