The idea of "stanning/hating" a megacorporation, one of the most powerful entities on the planet, is a priori absurd in the vein of Bryan Cantrill's "don't anthropomorphize Oracle".
Apple spends billions of dollars promoting its global brand as a culture and way of life; this does not mean we need to apply this framework to other brands. Spewing negativity (or positivity) about Google in this context is a self-own, because it signals that you have fallen for the "brand loyalty" cantrip.
Why are you replying to a comment about the lack of recent innovation at Google and product positioning missteps with a comment talking about 'stanning/hating. That's not what the commmenter is doing.
Besides, this discussion isn't about "innovation", it's about Google killing products. Google is possibly the most innovative tech megacorporation precisely because of their experimental approach to product releases.
