Ignoring everything after Google maps is ignorant as hell. I mean Google Photos is literally used by a massive percentage of iPhone users as well, because it's so good.
You seem to be unfamiliar with hyperbole, or maybe just didn't recognize it here.
Also they kind of enshittified Google photos by walking back the unlimited storage promise. Probably not the best project to point to for "Google doesn't suck" arguments.
They didn't walk it back. Pixel 1 still has unlimited storage.
You're insufferable. Whatever fits your agenda.
irony
It's not insufferable to call it insufferable behavior. That's not irony.
Ya because saying Google walked back on a promise when they didn't. Whatever lies to fit your agenda. Pixel 1 still gets unlimited backups.

choke on it

so they are robbing everyone else they previously offered it to. they are walking it back.
you are splitting hairs
it's a rug pull
And for some time, other devices did as well. And then they changed it. Would some other term than "walking back" describe "they offered a good deal to customers, and then changed it to a less good deal" better for you?
Do you like work for Google or something? Probably not. The handful of people I've met who work there aren't nearly this zealous about defending it.
Are you hanging your entire argument on the word "lifetime"?
From their announcement
From this you can infer photos prior to June 21 2021 did not count against the storage. And now they do. Making the product worse for users.
