What have they shot down recently? I hadn't heard of any of their products getting the axe in several years...

  It's not just the apps that Google explicitly "axes", there are also the ones that Google just stops paying attention to and they fade into nothingness. Google Voice comes to mind. My company recently switched to Google suite of apps (Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, etc) and soon after was given the heads up that we should expect minimal support/updated to Hangouts since Google is shifting their online chat efforts into Allo and Duo.

    Heads up from Google? They are actually investing into hangouts https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/09/google-goes-after-slack-and-splits-hangouts-into-chat-and-meet/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/09/google-goes-after-slack-an...

      Investing in Hangouts or making even more communication apps? Now there will be Allo, Duo, Chat, Meet, and of course Hangouts.

    For Google voice, they redid the UI for mobile and web back in January 2017 (completely new look). So I wouldn't say voice is dying. As for hangouts, they already announced the replacement for this. Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. Meet is already out there and Chat is in closed beta.

  Only considering my own workflow: some Hangouts api that some apps I was using relied upon. Probably related to that other product of them competing in the same space but nowhere as feature complete: Google duo.
