The only time people jump onboard google products is at launch. Being the premier tech company in the world that actually launches things like this brings significant network effects that help boost these products past noise threshold.
After that it doesn't matter coz you'll probably move on to the next company(2-3 years) and it won't matter that the google product you adopted failed/was shut down since you'll be in a different tech time/space continuum bubble and will have adopted newer things.
This is really a problem of Google just not bothering to invest in things long term. It's a known problem and I don't think Google cares coz none of these products really disrupt the market or bring in the big bucks which is all tech giants care about.

Make a decision that is beneficial in the short term, get that bonus or promotion out of it, run away before the much greater long term downside catches up with you. But it can only work in an environment that encourages job hopping... which we have. Hey companies, if you want people to make good decisions then you need to invest in retention above all else.
