You make it sound like Google is the only company to EOL underperforming products and services. How many products and services has Apple or Microsoft abandoned or shut down during their span? I'm guessing that list is very long.
They have the right to EOL what they want; but OP is still right to warn about it based on Google's history of EOLing stuff that has been liked by the community.

Microsoft is the best example for commitment to API compatibility over decades, i.e. the polar opposite of Google.
