> I can’t help but imagine whether Google Cloud’s low market share is related to this. If the internal culture is that clients must act multiple times a month to deal with impending breaking migrations, at least some of that attitude likely falls on external customers. Not GCP, but Google runs some of its open source projects like this. I've been burnt by breaking Guava and Java Protobuf changes multiple times. Especially with Guava, I strongly recommend that library developers avoid it.
