> This one-year-long deprecation warning comes atop what is a fairly reasonable migration path for most users After working at multiple, large companies as well as doing government contracting, it would take a year just to propose and get funding for very minor changes. Sometimes it would take months to get critical bugs or security issues approved and taken care of. A year works for many tech companies. Maybe even most. But it's laughably tone deaf when talking about larger companies or government organizations. This is why the majority of companies I've worked with opt for APIs from, say, AWS and only consider using a Google API if there is literally no other choice. No one wants to be focused on X and suddenly have to allocate money to change something that's working to use something else.
