The thing about API and platforms is, stability matters, and it matters a lot. Google can't stop fiddling with things, their products and their APIs and legal terms; they just keep changing things constantly. It makes it incredibly annoying to build anything on Google tech.
Things built on Microsoft tech still work decades later without any change. I have things built on AWS that's still running on 6 year old APIs and they still work. With Google, I'm lucky if it lasts 6 months.

A quip from someone on HN from earlier this year, I didn't save the URL: It’s not as though Google, to pick one example from your list, is some kind of techno-prophet; they’ve killed more projects than asteroids did dinosaurs.
