Subjective, but rings true.
> Canceling products left and right leaving no consumer faith in new offerings.
I don't think vast majority of Google users see it this way. The canceled products might be popular in HN, but have comparatively few actual users.
> Cloud platform being an absolute terrible experience, even if you have a rep inside too.
This seems to be consensus, yes.
> Internal power groups crippling anything that isn't deemed sufficiently DEI compliant.
Is this actually true? Seems meme-ish.

For their hardware products, this is definitely the case. Stadia, When they bought Fitbit, Google Home devices are few things that come to mind. When they shut down Stadia and refunded everyone, "I would have bought games and tried out Stadia if they at least put this as part of their release announcement". What a sad state of things really.
