This is a great overview of the problem, I never even really thought about. It kind of really explains why they've binned and remade almost the identical apps multiple times. Maybe if they'd made more QOL and supported their apps with new novel ideas they wouldnt have slowly died out.

Or even maybe if they'd make privacy respecting software instead of spreading their legs and whoring out all the data they collected on you they'd be doing much better too. Google has become a bloated beast that needs to be put down. Anti competitive and monopolistic behaviour with no innovation, it's a wonder anyone uses their shit apps and services anymore
