I've worked with Google APIs before and I was frustrated by the poor support and the breaking changes, but I didn't have a choice. Lack of integration with Google services would have been a major weak point for our product.
The bottom line is that Google is so big and important that other companies just have to put up with Google's behavior. Until that changes there won't be a migration away from Google's APIs.
