As explained in the docs, Angularjs !== Angular. They are different frameworks. You're using the two names interchangeably in this post and it's confusing. I suspect that maybe some of the companies you cite are not actually using Angular, but instead built their apps using AngularJS. Given how old AngularJS is, it's possible those examples are no longer relevant. For example, it doesn't appear that The Guardian's website is still built using AngularJS.

It would be no overstatement to consider AngularJS as a future of web development.

I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone build a new app using AngularJS, and Google doesn't recommend that people do it either. The framework in in long-term-support mode, and in the future all development (by Google at least) will cease.
