I agree. Its not releasing products that's a problem, its having a long term vision and commitment. I always see two conflicting takes on HN. That Google abandons their products or they haven't done anything recently. Not every product can be a worldwide success, but how do you know it until you try and fail or succeed? Failing means abandoning it. I'd like it if Google frequently creates new products marked Beta for a long time and making them core-products depending on their success. After that, I'd also like it if we stop blaming Google for "killing" products. The problem is Google releases new products without a Beta tag, even when they aren't sure if they will succeed or not.
