Embrace creative destruction. Apps die and it gives new ones a chance to fill the space. Keeps the ecosystem responsive and gives everybody a chance to innovate.

Want apps to stick around? Enjoy Excel, Photoshop, etc. :)

Embrace the 'creative' destruction of all the documents I store with a cloud provider?

Yeah, no thanks.

That may work for games, but it's just stupid for what is essentially infrastructure. Some creative destruction may well make sense there as well at times (instead of accumulating cruft indefinitely), but there are major costs associated with doing so, so an approach that has a high probability of requiring a complete rebuild every couple of years is just moronic.
