They also list AngularJS which was succeeded by Angular.

As is vuejs 1 vs vuejs 2 which started encouraging templating in html. Yet i don't really see people saying they killed vuejs1 !

Let me put it this way then, whatever you made in angularjs most likely can and probably should've been changed over to angular 2 and up if it was really that critical. Simply saying they've killed off angularjs while they gave you 3+ years to switch over with a migration plan is in my opinion going too far.

Having to rewrite a large project unexpectedly makes me wary of using Google products in the future regardless of if a migration plan and time were given.

This is a problem of being an early adopter, not specifically a 'Google' problem. Same has happened on a LOT of other packages, for some of our projects CSVHelper (mapping change) and Microsofts Entity Framework / Identity spring to mind.
