    the engineers won’t get tired, they are paid not to. Not to say that people shouldn’t try to evade it. This is super predatory but understandable cause of its income model.

      The engineering managers will get tired of spending their budget on something that produces no return on investment. Google has no attention span for anything.

          A feature like this can get approval to be worked on, but what’s harder to defend is spending money on it every quarter when there won’t be any tangible benefit to point towards.

          Google will get bored and move on to the next shiny thing to juice revenues.
