I don't dispute that but this particular conversation was about who creates more and who shutters more and I don't think Microsoft is a good counterexample to Google. It has created some things, it has shuttered some things, but mostly things have stayed the same, same as Google. Apple is probably the one that has created the most lasting things and continues to release new lines of products and services. Nearly everything that has launched has had lasting iterations (except the original HomePod which is a tragedy).

You can say a lot about Microsoft. But no one has ever accused MS of abandoning anything quickly and not supporting its platforms forever - even Zune.

But my comments have basically been around Google not having strong focus and not successfully and profitably entering new markets.
