It's been a while since they stopped innovating.

Although Google, Maps, Youtube are of daily use they are monetized exclusively by advertising which is annoying and hated by many. It has been many years since Google has launched an innovative new product.

I don't think ChatGPT will gain daily traction after this hype. Anyway we could say that MSFT and AMZN have demostrated more power to innovate with different business models (not only adv) and products.

The GOOG stock has a PE (Price/earning) of 23, while Coca cola 26. So the stock market expect higher growth from CocaCola than Google. Quite surprising.

Stadia launched in 2019.

Stadia wasn't really that innovative, how many times has cloud/streaming gaming been done before? I can think of at least 3.

Also, it's already dead.

Which three? Did they actually work with reasonable input latency?

The discussion was about innovative products. An already explored idea, but executed properly, only counts as innovative if Apple does it. And even then, it only ran for a couple years, so even if we want to give points for taking an idea and making it work, they don’t pass there either.
