Android is basically the best example of Google's perpetual beta problem. They're constantly adding features and then silently dropping them a few years later because they were forgotten about and no one wanted to maintain them.
They constantly deprecate apps and replace them with worse ones, they redesign the notification shade every other update, they'll say they're committing to tablets every few years but apps having tablet-optimized modes lasts until the app is redesigned in a couple years and they stopped caring about tablets by that point.
Google treats its users like beta testers, but instead of getting paid you pay them with your data and/or money. I went through the wringer enough times that I finally bought an iPhone and have no desire to go back. Was I shocked that last time I turned on my Pixel 3 and updated it, the notification shade, messaging app, Play Store, settings app, and nearly everything else was completely redesigned? No, not at all.
everything else at Google is pretty much an internal startup and insignificant on their numbers
