Silly statement. Google is in the cloud business and this is very different than a free product they offer.

  The Flights API they just killed? Custom searches, which many websites paid for, which they killed? Google has a habit of killing things, no matter if you pay for it and your business relies on it, or not.

    If I remember correctly, they were required to keep that API up for a specified amount of time after the acquisition and they have kept it longer than that.

      And that’s an excuse how? Many of their cloud APIs are also acquisitions. The entire Firebase product line, and the Fabric.io product line are acquisitions. Should we expect those to also disappear suddenly?

        I think the difference is that the QPX was the byproduct of an acquisition (ITA Software) while Firebase and Fabric.io were the desired targets in those respective acquisitions.
