Google builds lots of failed products too (hint: Google+). They make up for it in sheer volume ;-)

What is wrong in trying and failing ?
Nothing. But that's not what Google usually does. Much more often, Google tries and succeeds. People begin using the product because it's good, and then Google arbitrarily kills it [0]. I've been burned by this behavior enough that I now avoid Google products whenever possible, no matter how great they seem.
