There is plenty of computing related stuff that Google doesn't do, has stopped doing or outsources nearly all of, whether it be ceasing to be a Domain Registrar, providing voice & texting services (Google Voice being just another Bandwidth.com frontend, Google Fi being an alternative onramp to the T-Mobile network, with identical roaming).

You mentioned social media, what social media happens on Google's platforms? Google Wave is long dead, Google Talk was broken so badly everyone I know stopped using it. Google Groups is a wasteland that just spams up Usenet, so everyone ignores it. Where is Google in action when it comes to social media?

youtube/youtube shorts have a lot "social media" going on

Youtube is currently full of attention-bait, rage-bait, spam, scams, and AI noise.

It takes work over months of time to find youtube channels with value and a few more months to vet their worth.

While it IS a social media network, the majority of user content on the website is low-value spam comments.
