The thing here is the 8.000 Glass early adopters vs the hundred-millions (billions maybe?) of Google workspace users.
It's not the same league, not even the same sport.
PS: Not defending Google here, their support for some products is abysmal
You are correct. I agree 100%. It's easy to be great when it's on a tiny scale.
Billions in profit may unblock scaling customer support beyond scrappy startup minimums
However (and I loathe this logic) if you can get the marketplace to accept that minimal level, and the brand harm is inconsequential, why not pocket the savings

That's the thing though. Google have destroyed their brand through these kinds of actions, over many years.
Those are not matter-of-fact saving, but rather significant savings
