Sure. AlphaFold is, in fact, the greatest shot at revenue that DeepMind has shown so far (and they are under intense pressure from Alphabet to show revenue).
I don't think there is any pressure on that front. They are supposedly profitable now (though i'm guessing this is partially accounting tricks) but there just isn't a need to be profitable. Search and Youtube print money to fund their R&D ($31B last year alone). The goal is AGI or close to it.
The "profit" you're pointing at is money that Google pays DeepMind to do software and machine learning as a service for them. This pays off, for example with Jax, where nobody in Google Research could touch it because Jeff Dean/Tensorflow, until DM demonstrated (with alphafold) that Jax could do nobel-prize-winning research, to the point where Jeff has admitted that tensorflow has serious problems and systems like jax are the future (see the palm paper!!!)
