It takes a very long time to revoke trust if you don't want to break the web. Symantec was discovered to have misissued a bunch of certs in 2015[1] (including for google.com). No one removed trust for them. Then in Jan 2017 it was discovered they misissued a bunch more[2]. I believe it was the end of 2018 before browsers finally removed trust for them.
