If there's only a few users then it's cheap to run. If there's a lot of users then this is a mountain of bad PR right at the time they are trying to get users to adopt new products (like, say, Stadia). Since all it does is shuffle PDFs & images between endpoints I'm gonna guess this is on the order of basically free to run.
But either way canceling it isn't free, either. I'm arguing the cost of canceling this is far larger than the cost of keeping it running.
