Speculation: Google has a moderate amount of “core” applications that are clearly getting indefinite support, but all of those services also have a very conservative feature and update roadmap. New features are going to be limited to things that alphabet has in its global focus, so crap like Gemini and not much else.

I’m sure engineers working on products like the google web suite would love to implement this kind of thing but have zero authorization or resources for that.

Experimental applications, the ones that bloom rapidly and get shut down in a cycle that google has become known for, are ironically way more likely to see this kind of cool niche update.

Twisted company has a whacky way of managing their products, because advertisement drives their revenue so everything else is just freestyle jazz.

"Freestyle jazz" is pretty accurate, IMO.
