Google maps was launched 7 years after google was founded. If you look up the market share of google at that time (less than half of the search engine market) I think you’re more proving the need for breaking the company up.
Maps was created because it allowed google to be more competitive, not because they were already on top of their game and could just pour billions into any product.
