Totally get you but it’s open source isn’t it? I don’t think it’ll just die randomly. Especially considering Google uses it themselves
Just being open source doesn't guarantee a project's survival. If Google were to abandon it the most likely outcome would be a community fork that gets 100th of the development manpower it gets now, and most developers would abandon the platform leading to it's effective death.
But I also think it's unlikely Google will abandon it. It's actually quite good and quite popular now.
That's never stopped them before.
To put better comical effect to that line, you can add a separate hyperlink to each word of the sentence, each leading to a separate article of one of the projects abandoned by Google.
Even better if all of them were widely used ones, affirming your point.
