Apple: "let it rot until it dies" Google: "just kill it and put it out of its misery"

I wonder what results in these dissimilar approaches? Are these cultural? are these youthful company versus decades-old bureaucracy?

Aren't google products services they have to pay to keep alive? Apple apps like this likely cost less to leave alone.

Also, I wouldn't call Google a youthful company, even if Apple is 44 years old.
