This describes practically every sunsetted Google product I've used in the past several years. Podcasts, One VPN, transitions with Voice and Duo/Meet, and more. They've all had ample notifications, explanations, and assistance with migration. Moreover, Google's added products which I've embraced, and to date, has never killed anything upon which I relied. In fact, the linchpin apps have improved vastly over time, such as Docs/Sheets, Photos, Calendar; and I love Tasks and Keep now, for all their overlap!

Lacking a mobile contract or a SIM-capable device, I signed up for Voice in 2015, and all the changes since then have been completely understandable, since Voice is a "fake phone" number that can't be allowed on-par with actual mobile services, particularly Google Fi itself. And that's precisely why I needed it 9 years ago.
