    Back in I think 2016, Google announced that Nest thermostat owners would soon no longer have access to the Nest app because they were migrating to Google Home. Well that sack of shit app couldn’t perform half of the functions. Users complained, and we still have the Nest app that still has additional functionality to this day.

    Just a Google story that came to my mind

        A significant number of companies that lasts longer than a few years release a new product and puts another product to rest. Google has a lot of folks reliant on their technology.

        Microsoft has a problem shutting down projects long past their usefulness for an example of the opposite.

        You should see how uppity folks got about Ms access being sunset.
