Google hasn't been a trendsetter for a few years now, either (unless you count enforcing web standards with Chrome). Also, calling "relevant industry giant making heaps of money" a failure scenario is quite a stretch.

yes, being that the web is THE current platform for technology

in the same way Win32 was 20 years ago

IBM's making quite a lot of money still (though trending down and not nearly as much as it used to)
