You've missed the point - it is: don't expect companies or people to act against their interests. They generally haven't, don't and won't. Google isn't unique here. The problem is so pervasive in society that humans created contracts and courts to force people/companies to do things they wouldn't otherwise do.

There are always a myriad of potential actions that a company could potentially interpret as being in its best interest.

Company culture can help predict what interpretation a company will pick.

Google's culture is much more trigger-happy about interpreting killing off a service as being in the company's best interest than Amazon is.
