... I'm not arguing whether or not they intended to keep the apps separate? If you want to know why he left, he's already told you[1].

>Knowing Google, I find it hard to believe that Waze under the Google maps lead will get resources and continue.

Sure. Agreed. That's not what this comment chain was discussing, though. You sure you responded to the right post?

The article clearly states that SHE left with no explanation why:

Waze CEO Neha Parikh will exit her role following a transition period

You're referencing an article that is over a year old about a completely different person.

I mistakenly thought that that individual was referring to the founder's departure, not the CEO's termination post-restructuring. That's my bad.

The Waze founder left a while ago.
