Relative to all the startups that compete with them, Google and Microsoft products are much safer to rely on. They will at least give you a migration path and a generous time allowance for that migration. Most of the startups who shut down their services do so with with no notice.

And relative to a bank, which is what I was comparing them to, they are canceling things at a very very rapid pace.

I am perfectly fine with people saying that Google, a multi-billion dollar corporation, cancels things less often than a company with a completely uncertain future and no profit.

I am also fine with saying that comparison is not fair to the startups or to business that try to deliver a faithful product to their customers.
