No, it seems their products die because there's more prestige in launching a product than maintaining one.

  "This went poorly because we care far more about launch than execution" is really the same spirit as the gp's paraphrase.

    Many products from Google die because is a bottom up company: many ideas that make it into products come from Engineering directly, (guys who wants o solve challenging problems), to later find out that the business analysis was poor...and an internal performance system that advocates for launches

        Definitely, specially in Cloud where Enterprise don't like cool projects or experiments, they need solid roadmap and commitment from product companies
