Yeah IoT definitely seems to be following Google's messaging strategy - if the platform isn't a runaway success, delete it and start again. Maybe people will love the new platform!



Are they too spoiled by the early days of the internet when that would happen regularly because they were simply first? Does it ever still happen?


"spoiled" in the sense of having gone bad, maybe. It does appear this is a deeply ingrained cultural assumption they aren't getting rid of (no clue if they try). The usual meme is of course "nobody gets promoted for maintaining a not-so-successful service"...
