Isn't this good news because they're diversifying their streams?

Google really had developed only 2 good products(not including acquisitions such as YouTube): search and gmail. Their primary cow to milk has been search. The rest (I.e cloud compute) is not really a moat. I think we are facing a revolution/rotation where the these companies may start to become just “old businesses”(I.e IBM, AOL).

Yes but it's like the meme: the old is deprecated and the new is not ready yet.
