I thought it was just me, but then I went to reddit and felt validated. Why does Google never execute when it comes to consumer facing products (Waymo being the huge exception).

Hahaha! AND yes — Stitch is such a letdown
I tried giving it a chance but it feels like one of those "intern project turned full product" things. Who greenlit this and thought "yep, this’ll beat Discord or Slack"?
Google’s got this wild habit of launching stuff that feels 70% done, hyping it up, then ghosting the community when it doesn’t blow up overnight. It’s frustrating because you know they’ve got the brains and budget to make killer consumer tools — they just don’t seem to want to.
Looking at things like this, Google is like that super smart kid in school who could ace every test but just doesn’t turn in half the homework.
Waymo is the golden child, popular and loved.

I think there's a cold, calculated logic to it. Just like the super smart kid picks and chooses where he wants to spend his time, Google probably quickly abandons projects that it doesn't think are worthwhile to continue.
