I don&#x27;t think you emphasized enough the &quot;far less likely to adopt their next big idea&quot; bit. It&#x27;s massive. Developers used to simply assume whatever Google puts out is going to be huge, and the sooner they get onto it, the better off they&#x27;ll be. Now, anything that Google puts out, it&#x27;s far more sensible to take a &quot;wait and see if other people use it&quot; approach. If enough people do that, no one uses it!<p>I think Google are generally smart enough to factor this type of thing into their decision-making around &quot;should we shut down X&quot; but their approach to shutting things down does make me wonder how they value it.
