I have no idea if any of the others have such promises, but wouldn't you agree that Google kind of stands out from the Three Big cloud providers when looking at the historical rate of service deprecation? It's not an accident that Google is rather (in)famous regarding that, and MS & Amazon are not.

No. Amazon and Microsoft are equally happy to kill their failed consumer products as Google. And none of them have a high rate of killing their business-focused cloud products. But for whatever reason, when Bezos brags about how making failed products is a core part of the company culture because it shows you’re tajing risks, HN shrugs. When MS kills off billion dollar consumer bets after only a couple of years, HN just goes “lol, why would anyone have used Mixer”. It is a clear double standard that seems to have happened since memes are self-reinforcing.
