There's a difference between that and what Google does. Look at how many products on https://killedbygoogle.com/ that were several years old, e.g. AngularJS (11 years). And I'm sure many of us remember Google Reader.

To be fair AngularJS has a successor in Angular and thus is a bad example. I think it is fine to drop it after 14 years of support (which is almost ridiculously long in JS-time)

Omg, it also turns out that the Linux foundation killed Linux 3.0! How dare companies stop supporting old versions of their software!
