It bugs me how that site counts things that were just shuffled around, rebranded or obsolete as "killed". Google genuinely kills enough stuff that there's really no need to pad out the list by counting the Google Drive desktop client that still exists and was just renamed, or the standalone Street View app which was just a worse version of the Google Maps app, or Google Toolbar which was obsoleted by browsers integrating search and wouldn't be supported by any modern browser anyway.

Even YouTube for the Nintendo 3DS of all things is on there and they supported that system for two years longer than Nintendo did. Past a certain point it wouldn't have been possible for Google to update that app even if they wanted to.
