It's frustrating how cavalier they are about killing old Gemini releases. My read is that once a new model is serving >90% of volume, which happens pretty quickly as most tools will just run the latest+greatest model, the standard Google cost/benefit analysis is applied and the old thing is unceremoniously switched off. It's actually surprising that they recently extended the EOL date for Gemini 2.5. Google has never been a particularly customer-obsessed company...
