This is such a recurring issue that I just stop using new-ish Google products for fear of the rug getting pulled under me. I used to use Google Home, now renamed Nest Home, and now I just stop using them altogether since I don't know how long it will survive. Pretty much the only thing from Google I use today are Gmail and Google Docs. This thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24165445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24165445 describes what's going on internally at Google that led to that graveyard. Namely, how the promotion system encourages the creation of a new thing, and inadvertently de-emphasizes maintenance.
