The product line still serves some functions. It nudges other OEMs towards Google's vision of hardware that best enables their OS to remain dominant (small loss on hardware to reinforce ongoing deluge of profits from services). ..
If you mean FaceID or the Soli thing, I guess I can see that, maybe. If you mean things consumers actually care about (battery, storage, etc) I really don't think they are doing themselves any good, nor are they gaining any more market dominance. A consumer who runs out of battery at 4:30pm doesn't care much about Soli.
Google needs to embrace the WHOLE package at this price, not just a few new cool things. That is the hardware that will truly help them IMO>
