Mild quibble: Google did come up with Gmail on its own. Or at least through a 20% project (that is, it wasn't a management objective).
But other than that, novel product development has been quite poor.
Google definitely tweak the heck out of products. But in terms of either launching new game-changers, on the scale of Gmail, Maps (aquisition), Youtube (aquisition), Android (aquisition), or ... come to think of it, Chrome was also home-grown, no?, they've an awfully weak record.
(Gemini, Google Books, and Translate are some other successful launches, though they've had relatively limited reach. Gemini's still in early days, so it could prove a breakout yet.)
All the more so for revenue-generating products, of which Doubleclick / Adsense remains the sole cash machine.
