A product that is acquired and subsequently shut down because the acquirer has no interest in it is indeed a failed product as far as I'm concerned, even if said acquisition was a financial success for the investors and employees.

It was acquired because it was successful.

The failure is 100% on Facebook's side. They could have decided to keep the business up, they decided no to.

Thankfully, Google is doubling down on a similar business, so we have alternatives.
