Of all the free services to kill, this one really hurts. I just got my parents migrated to using Cloud Print with their Chromebooks and iStuff. As I am providing the usual family-plan IT advice from several timezones away, Cloud Print solved the biggest headache of getting their current project printed to their house or office from wherever they are (or me, if I am helping them). Supporting local printers was a time sink, and remote printing is the logical complement to cloud applications. It seems shortsighted to give it up when there is no real competition in this space AFAICT.

Expect Chromebooks to get killed as well.
"In Q4 of 2018, Chromebooks made up 21% of all notebooks sold in the US"

Yeah, especially after that google graveyard website, and all the services axed with no good replacements...
You'd have to be a fool to trust any google service for anything.

What, if any, alternatives are there for Google Voice?
