Google is certainly guilty of killing off lots of products, but:
The video demonstrates the ecosystem working now, using features that have existed for years, most of which work across hardware platforms from multiple vendors, as well as multiple operating systems (i.e. features that won't disappear on Google's whim, because they don't actually control the tech, they leverage open standards, etc).
Let's also not pretend like Apple has never killed a product, service, or feature. Ecosystems grow, shrink, and change all the time. If you prefer one offering over the other, use it. That's the entire point of the video.
