Google One was a pretty sweet deal on paper.

But unfortunately, Google's superpower of making really cool things and then killing it off continues to exist.

half-arsing a product, people are hesitant to try it, due to other killed off products, google kills product. repeat

Product launches are the vehicle for attaining promotions at Google, allegedly. Maintenance does not get similarly rewarded, nor does launching projects and having them live on to actually be successful.

When the launcher got promoted and moved on, they have to figure out whether to keep the thing around, and the answer is generally going to be no since few things can really compete with the infinite money glitch that is search ads.
