I roast Google at every opportunity but this does not seem fair to me. What about Golang? Angular? Dart? Even the bigger stuff like Chrome and Android while a bear to deal with are integrated with every day by a lot of companies. What is some Google OSS that has failed in the way you mention?

Angular, famous for betraying their devoted developer community with a complete breaking change when going from 1.x to 2.0. No migration plan whatsoever. It was a totally new framework which happened to share the same name. After a few years they relented and put in some work to help migrate existing users, but by that point most people has already put in the work to migrate towards a framework that wouldn't just leave you behind.

  Angular 1.x was (is?) still viable. Its not a breaking change because its an entirely optional shift. I was working in Angular 1.x at the time and while there was a lot of hype for 2 we all knew Angular 1.x wasn't going anywhere.

  The migration plan is to use React instead.

  >No migration plan whatsoever. Not 100% true, there were a lot of workarounds and documentation how to upgrade. Sure it wasn't great, but the few projects I did with Angular 6,7,8 was kinda nice. I still have an AngularJS project in production which is also nice :) Of course any new JS project is now done in Svelte (nothing simpler) or as nice PS. It's nice to be nice :D
