It’s a feature not a product. Not everything has to be about profit and loss if it’s part of a larger ecosystem. Google Cloud Print was a feature of Android as well as other parts of Google’s ecosystem just like AirPrint is a feature of iOS/MacOS.
But Google has always been piss poor at managing an ecosystem. Just look at the state of Android updates.
There is an infinite supply of cheap intern labor at every college in the U.S. chomping at the bit to mop the floor at google hq.

Did you read your own link? Chomping at the bit has the same meaning.

Neither productive, insightful, nor accurate, just FYI.
I don't think this is google specific. Keeping a dead product on life support is going to get boring for most people after a while.
