I think you're overlooking some decent wins because they weren't world changers for general consumers.
For hardware, I think all of the following could be considered a success:
- Pixel phone
- Chromecast
- Chromebooks (as school computers)
For software:
- Youtube TV seems to be a massive hit.
- Google Classroom has a lot of users in the ed tech space.
- Just in my social circle, I'm noticing more and more people using Google Photos in the past few years (even iOS users). I think might be due to growing usage of Google One.
