In my book, Android doesn't count as a Google product, as it was a 2005 acquisition:

Almost every part of the iPhone is also based on acquisitions. Android was a bad BlackBerry knock off before Google acquired. Android as it exists today is mostly Google.

YouTube and even AdSense were based on an acquisition.

Heck, Apple as we know it today was based largely on the Next acquisition.
