Add it to the pile.
If I were choosing a business to work with at this point, it wouldn't be Google. They might just kill off whatever service I need at any time.
Kinda sick of this meme. It's not dead, it was replaced by Health Connect.
Google Fit was the 'hub' for fitness-related data for all apps. Developers could link their app to Fit so users had one place for all their health data.
Android took over Fit's role and called it Health Connect, which is now out of beta. Health Connect is the API that developers now use to store their data in one centralised location on the user's device.
If anything, this is just a logical next step. Should Google have just started with Health Connect? Obviously. but I think it works better as an Android service and not a Google one.
Google Fit is sticking around (for now), as a user app for tracking fitness. It uses Health Connect API to store data, and now other developers need to use Health Connect instead of the Fit API.
