devil's advocate(or in this case, google's i guess), unless you do something shady prohibited by google's TOS(which i recommend you read and understand if you value your data), google is pretty good about everything. even when they shutter services they give you plenty of advance warning and have options to takeout backups of data easily always remember google offers all of these services for free and you're still getting more value than you paid for

The original article is about how this is absolutely false in the case discussed.

Parent was probably referring to closing down entire products (e.g. Google Reader).
