Just want to echo this.

I don't buy things from Google, or through Google, because I just assume Google will either drop all support for it. And the quality of their products doesn't match the cost. And everything comes with a subscription fee. Remember when you bought a FitBit and you just fucking owned it!?!? Or trying to force you onto YouTube.

Or something will go wrong and you don't have to look too hard to find Google customer support is abysmal.

And also, they're slow to adapt to the things people actually want. Like when the pandemic hit, Zoom became the default platform. Google had a platform ready to go... but its restrictive model back then meant no one cared when they finally opened it up.

Their track record finally caught up with them. Wasn't long ago people were laughing at the idea that anyone would care...
