That’s not hard, considering they’ve existed for only a few years. In that time they’ve done plenty of things that make me feel like their behavior is questionable (the 10x price hike for maps API comes to mind)

Considering Google App Engine launched in 2008 and Compute Engine in 2012 I would argue it exceeds "a few years" and begins to form precedent.

I would also argue that it is not a reasonable comparison in this context to conflate pricing changes with deprecation.
