You’re describing exactly what Google is doing with Gmail and Inbox.

Disclosure: I work at Google, but my projects are only tangentially related.

Yes, Gmail after the Inbox "experiment" is an example of Google doing the right thing. I'm just wondering why that strategy is so rare. Is it a new mode of thinking within Google? Did Google only recently manage to become 'un-flat' enough that there are people with high-level project-management expertise available to suggest something like a merger between two teams?
