It's good that you didn't sign up to use these experimental Amazon services.
"Amazon Killing Off its $60/Year Plan for Unlimited Storage"
"Amazon is killing off its Music Storage subscription service"
"Amazon to discontinue Fresh delivery in some states"
"Amazon is shutting down its 'Underground Actually Free' program"
"Amazon Will Discontinue Its Vendor Express Platform"
etc...

Which Google services haven't lasted years? The only one I can think of is Wave, and that was pretty experimental.

Not so much about how long they've lasted, it's about products being EOL'd with no recourse. And there are many! Like zeitgeist, wave, sidewiki, aardvark, pagecreator, reader, Talk, iGoogle, Buzz, Picnic.
By contrast, every Amazon service I've dealt with has been either explicitly experimental (and not "experimental" in the Google sense, but something that actually seems like a distinct trial run) or has lasted for years at a minimum.
