If anything, this adds meat to the fact it can be understandable that people do not trust Google with products longevity.
Bus factor et al. is literally CS 101.

And that is a problem for a company with 20k employees?
No, Reader was killed because it:
- was free
- didn't contribute to revenue growth from ads

It is for a company where the promotion culture rewards new initiatives and products and doesn't reward people maintaining products. Which was most certainly the company culture around the time reader was killed.

would you be willing to pay for something that essentially is google inbox - but a separate web view client with more personalization/better search?
My main issue with Google is that internal politic affects users all the time. See the debacle of anything built on top of Android and being treated as a second citizen.
You can’t trust a company which can’t shield users from its internal politics. It means nothing is aligned correctly for users to be taken seriously.
