Because WE, the people who use google created items, ARE the product. What we use isn't the product, our usage of said item is the product.
No, google isn't selling Android, they are selling US! Our usage of the product to their customer, the advertisers.
They have wonderful things to use in maps, and gmail and things like that, but that's just a means to an end, getting OUR information to sell to ADVERTISERS, so they can advertise a product that we looked at 15 minutes ago and relate it to something we may want but didn't know it until it showed up!
