What isn't Google trying to build and why

What isn't Google trying to build? A phone os, chrome, url shortener, video, checkout..etc..

It seems like they truly are trying to build a bit of everything.

Can we turn this into a 'What isn't Google trying to build and why?" thread. That way entrepreneurs don't have to rethink from scratch this every time (investors tend to ask this question).

Updated. Good idea
