This really doesn't hit quite as hard. Googles page is just 53 variants of hangouts that each lasted less than 2 years. This is "after 18 years and a full decade of phase out, teams replaced Skype".

Or "we rebranded calendar as outlook after 18 years so technically it's dead but there is a compatible replacement available for free" vs "we shut down this service because we couldn't find a way to shove ads in it"

Yeah, unlike Google a lot of these make sense (as in technology moved on) or were transitioned into other systems (Skype vs teams) or taken over by other products (atom vs vs code).

It actually makes Microsoft look somewhat good compared to the Google graveyard.

But killing MSN Messenger for Skype is a much greater crime against Humanity than any of Google’s, except maybe for Google Reader.
