"A job listing reveals the first details of Google’s fusion of Android and ChromeOS. "

"We know a little more about Google’s long-gestating plans to combine the best parts of Android and ChromeOS into a single OS thanks to a job listing for a product manager to work on 'Aluminium OS.' The job ad describes it as 'a new operating system built with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the core.'"

Surprised Google search and YouTube is not on the list yet ...

Those are where the money comes from, re adsense. Remember, Google is a B2B company, they sell public attention to advertisers.

Well if they know that, why spend time and money on all the other consumer products only to drop them a few years later?

It is my understanding that this is a byproduct of Google's company culture. Google hires software engineers, they're incentivized to invent something of their own. They do so. They get promoted. There isn't room in their company structure for anything to be maintained, maintaining someone else's project isn't a path to promotion. So Play Wallet is now Android Pay is now Google Pay is being sunset.

Oh, and Google is an American corporation, so anything that doesn't promise infinite exponential growth in revenue or unprecedented opportunities for cruelty is shot in the head as worthless.
