LOL. Google, the "yeah that thing we bought six months ago, we're killing it off 30 days for 4 weeks ago" company demanding "long-term" anything.

That conversation doesn't apply to their core products: Search, Mail, Maps, Chrome, Android. Their commitment to maintaining these services over decades has been amazing. It's everything else that sucks.
Mail is dropping features left and right, like gmailify. I'm pretty sure they're trying to limit the maintenance costs as much as possible.
I could almost imagine the normal search going away to be replaced by a chatbot.
long term support is actually being provided by google...
just a different team in a different country :D
most jxl devs are at google research in zurich, and already pledged to handle long tetm support
Just like google pledges long term support for everything until the next new and shiny comes along.
I think Chrome can safely be said to have a track record of long term investment.
