My old Roku is now so sluggish and slow, it's a paper weight and I had to buy a new one. All consumer electronics are designed to be disposable. GP's point was a grievance with consumer electronics at large, not Google's. What other consumer electronics allow you to replace the OS with your own, or receive infinite updates forever? Zero. Chromecast lasted for a decade, and is "dead" only in name. None of GP's statement is on-point for a typical "Google kills things all the time" complaint. If we're going to throw shade at Google, make sure it's about legitimate things.
