the clock is ticking

Down to what? In order for Google to fail in the short term, it would take some really big event. It would have to be something at the level of "Google banned from EU after..." to make Google unprofitable. I'm sure Google can afford losing 500M customers in a short timespan, but not if they reside in an economic region that has great influence over others.

For Google to fail in the long term, its ad business would have to fail. I imagine a few more antitrust cases to make google lose its search dominance would be a big domino.
