Also, they just wait for people to rely on it to either change the terms (e.g. they broke Google Maps on a ton of sites by changing the licensing terms, and you have to provide payment details nowadays, IIRC), or discontinue it altogether (I built a C# app with the Google Earth plugin a long time ago to present cellular network data... that was deprecated in 2014).

There's even a Google Graveyard for all their discontinued apps and services.
