In tech, Android's acquisition by Google is ancient history. It has zero relevance to today's Google.
When was it, 2006? Almost 20 years ago, back when the company was young.
Mobile is still nearly everything. Google continues to develop and improve Android in substantial ways. Android is also counted on by numerous third-party OEMs.
This doesn’t strike me as zero relevance.
This thread was about new markets, having foresight, being able to build "new".
Android and mobile are none of these things.
