Meta has 4 identical products, most of which have reached feature complete. They do few things, and make absurd amounts of money from it.

Google, MSFT and Apple do a lot more and most of their products have large feature backlogs.

The only part of Google that makes money is their ads business. And Meta is beating them at it.

You are wrong. Google makes ~73% of its revenue from ads compared to 98% in Meta.

We have revenue breakdown. Where is the profit breakdown?

		Ha, probably nobody at Google even knows the exact cost of each of those business lines.

Google makes money on ads, because its products span the entire internet.

Youtube, Gmail, Search, Maps, Android, Devices, Photos and Drive are how they get the data to make money on ads. Cloud, Android & Youtube would be a 2 trillion dollar company even without Google. They don't make money on these, because they don't need to make money on it.
