For everyone who doesn't work in the MS tech stack, this is pretty standard for the company. I get the sense they're taking a "Manhattan project" approach to grabbing cloud share. They find every promising technology they can, and either try to re-implement in their ecosystem or support it. Some of the stuff they're throwing at the wall sticks, and some of it doesn't.

I really wish they would have kept it alive much longer... Azure Machine Learning is way more complex and Codespaces not yet available for normal people.
Only free alter alternative with private Notebooks is Colab.
Paperspace Gradient is awesome, but the free version requires public Notebooks.

You could argue in a round about way they were killed because they didn't execute competently or something, but several things on that list were either outcompeted or obsoleted by their environment (Silverlight => HTML5).

The problem most people have with Google is when products that are doing well and are well loved by many... but not up to Google scale standards
Wunderlist fits that description. They did replace it with To Do, which was made by the Wunderlist team, but technically not the same app
XNA does, but MonoGame picked up the slack
And of course... Microsoft Reader. That hideous Metro app that would try and open in full screen back in the early Windows Store days. Good riddance.
