Anyone here work for Google in a capacity that can explain why they remove features that are oft used and that people love?

Things like Reader, location-based reminders ("remind me when I get home to..."), controlling my oven via the Assistant, Fitbit with Google workspace accounts, and now Maps timeline.

Like... I will just find replacements for all those and further myself even more from the Google ecosystem. What benefits does Google get out of killing these popular features?
