The analogy is even more apt when you think that most of the things Apple and Microsoft became big with in the 90's - like mouses and GUIs - were invented as Xerox but they failed to monetize, just like the basis for GTP came from Google and they failed to monetize (externally).
I don't think Google is as Xerox- or IBM-ified yet though, they might still bounce back with AI products.
