I mean... I don't expect them to scrap GMail, but their reassurance means nothing. IIRC they said the same thing about Stadia.

They make too much money from data harvesting to scrap Gmail, though.

Stadia was destined to fail though. I still remember the key note in which it was introduced. The CEO started with the lines "I don't play many games, but ... ".

The fact that the question is significant enough to deserve an answer means somebody somewhere got wind of something real.

It probably doesn't mean a full cancellation of gmail but I wouldn't be surprised to hear they're trying something like Wave again.

Here's a wild idea - you can read the article and discover that the whole thing was a hoax.
