Researchers definitely do get paid for research. That Google company you mention funds research which can be integrated into their products.

Sure, researchers get paid when they either do the research under contract or productize the research and sell it themselves. But they don't usually do the latter because that's quite difficult.
Are you grouping academic research funded by grants under the contract category?
To me, there is a meaningful difference and I'd add a third category, but I can also see the contract angle
