    They still exist because Google isn’t really a technology company anymore. It’s an advertising company masquerading as a technology company. Their success depends on selling more ads which is why all the failed projects don’t seem to make a difference.

      Your point seems very valid to me.

      I don’t even want to buy their products anymore because they constantly cancel them and remove any support.

      The only ones they continue, seem to be the ones they can use for data collection .i.e. Pixels and Nests. (I shamefully own both).

      It is so frustrating as a consumer. Especially when you know that you have become the product for them to sell.
