Isn't this the regular story of Google though?
"Let me give a half effort on X product. Oh, see, nobody likes it. Well, guess I'll go ahead and shutter it."
It's a shame that products with so much potential have all the resources put into them wasted with their behavior.

- p1necone 4y agoI've seen it mentioned on here a lot that promotions/career stability inside google are heavily based around launching new products, and maintaining existing ones is kind of a dead end. Seems like the outcome reflects the incentives.

Like most large organisation they tend to approximate a small government and they're inherently incapable of using their resources efficiently. Every once and then they will acquire a start-up that works to give new blood to the behemot.
