It’s amazing how they basically perfected something, and then just dropped it in the trash.

I know it’s easy to explain that they basically sold them to everyone who wanted one. But it really feels like a device that/situation that a company like Google could maintain as a good will thing. As a standard. As a protocol.

That's pretty much their MO though. If you look at their list of dead products, there's a lot of quality products that canned for whatever reason.
