I'd phrase it that Google trials end user facing products more like Yahoo and Microsoft, and less like Apple and Amazon. Which is to say, with less than full corporate dedication. In the engineering / GCP space, their open-beta -> GA flow seems to work sanely. But I don't think anyone on the consumer side would have said G+ felt, at any point, like a corporate priority. What I was trying to capture was the dedication and faith to push things with full effort... right up until you decide to pull the plug. A la iTunes, Apple Watch, Amazon Echo, or FBA.
