Yeah. I assumed if any company can really nail this experience long term it would be google. I figured it would take longer but with how game changing many of their products were in the early 2010s, I was ok waiting.

That waiting turned into more and more beloved products being shut down, drastically changed to shell versions of themselves, or left to stagnate, while google continued to randomly launch, acquire, shut down other beloved brands.

Constraints are a major part of innovation.

>completely flops on product strategy time and time again.

I am not aware of a single product person in Google. They are very much a tech company. They make / research and develop technology and search for a solution.

They have a TON of product people.
