It's probably not helping that most of their newer products get relaunched/branded and splintered so frequently leading to consumer confusion; for example, Android Pay -> Google Wallet -> Google Pay -> Google Pay and Wallet.

I'm looking forward to Pixel Purse and its successor G-Billfold.

Or the evergreen GoogleTV -> AndroidTV -> GoogleTV.

Or Hangouts (the massively online public video space) -> Hangouts (the chat app inside GMail) -> Hangouts (the private videoconfering app) -> Google Meet.

> Android Pay -> Google Wallet -> Google Pay -> Google Pay and Wallet

These all sound like the same thing. If they are different, then I guess it would be confusing.

That's the point.. Google either rebuilds or rebrands a lot of their stuff way to frequently.
