Google shuts down projects so regularly that I just wouldn't adopt anything new they make because it's not going to be around in 5 years. The core products: search, email, youtube, chrome, android, are decades old now and I wonder if the company can survive shutting down any of them.

I got bit in the ass by Google when I decided to try using their domain service and they decided to nuke it and sell it to Squarespace. Google domains was so good too. I jumped ship to Porkbun before my domains were completely locked into Squarespace so I managed to get out before it was too late thankfully
