You're right about all of their failures, but you have to admit... Google will not give up! They will try and try and try, and when they succeed they dominate.
If Facebook fails, it just fails. They don't really have an established core like Google does. At the moment FB is just a massive time-waster. They may evolve into something more useful, or they may be gobbled up by Google or Apple or some other giant player, but if not, they won't survive.
If Google+ fails, they will just learn from the mistake, and try something else 6 months later. They will eventually succeed.
From a "big brother" standpoint however, governments may have FB's back, so that is an unusual variable that can't be taken lightly either.
Who knows...
