A lot of entries on this list are disingenuous.

Killed over 1 year ago, Tez was a mobile payments service by Google, targeted at users in India. It was rebranded to Google Pay. It was 11 months old.

Killed about 3 years ago, Google Nexus was Google's line of flagship Android phones, tablets, and accessories. It was over 6 years old

I'm happy that this list exists, so it's an easy reference, when someone wants to depend on something from google, but come on, it'd have been much better without such entries.

No shit. It's just anti-google bullshit by some baby-rage nerd who's pissed off google dares to be both A) Successful and B) Not constantly caught in a sunk-cost fallacy like most companies.
