This is an inaccurate oversimplification.
Youtube Live was a distinct product from Hangouts on Air [1].
Nexus -> Pixel can indeed be described as a re-brand or a rename.
Picasa and Google Photos have been separate for years [2][3].
Chrome Apps were exposed certain platform features that there's still no web-based alternative for [4].

- ocdtrekkie 10y agoI disagree that Nexus -> Pixel is a rebrand or rename. It's an entirely different type of device. Nexus was a low-cost developer-focused device. Pixel is a high-cost consumer-focused device. And the big thing with Picasa is the desktop app, which many users are upset to be losing.
- kapsi 10y agoYes, I know no other program that does simple photo retouching and organizing as well as Picasa.
