For the record, I upvoted you and I think its important everybody should read what you wrote. As you mentioned, companies need to be consistent with their product offering just like how we expect people we interact with online to be consistent as well.

If I criticize Company A for doing something, and goes around and does the same thing then it'll be very hypocritical of me.

The product-market fit you mentioned doesnt just happen for startup, but for big companies as well. A dollar is a dollar everywhere you go. Just like you found it was OK for your company to sunset a certain product, big companies also decide to do that.

Also, please dont put words into my mouth. I didnt say you dont have a right to say things. You do. But when you do, and please be open to replies.

Yes. Sorry for the angry response. I'm totally open to replies and debate. I just wanted to emphasize that I was merely giving an opinion and that I didn't think it was fair to characterize my comments as hypocritical.

Companies have the right to sunset products if they're not profitable. Of course, they do. I think the problem is that in general people have high expectations from companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. I certainly do, and that's why I think Google should be more committed to a long-term vision in their Cloud business.
